It was by chance I stumbled 

into the fierce lions terrain 

and he looks like all the rest 

with large claws, sharp teeth, and his mane

 

Instinct readied my legs to run 

To fight, escape, this deadly trap 

Scars unhealed from past encounters

Wounds I’m unready to unwrap

 

Still - magnificent soft brown eyes 

Can lure in any of the lamb 

Trusting such a dangerous creature 

Surely falling to the beasts sham

 

Impossible one is diff'rent 

but the lamb must begin to trust:

Innocent is this one lion,

Proven to be honest and just
