The Heart of a Lion

Timidly I go,
daring to grow,
moving by night,
avoiding the light,
crawling along
through the dust
and the shadows;

How much better
to be a valiant feline
a nondescript cat
with the heart of
a lion,

Than to live as a lion,
a cowardly lion,
a large, languid lion
with the heart of a mouse.
