Strong as a lion?
How burly is he really?
Is he held captive, or does he roam freely?
A slave to them all inside?
If we opened his soul, what would we find?
A weak little thing?
Does he like being a prisoner?
To get out, is he tryin'?
Who ever said the lion was strong lied
Sure he's big on the outside, but who is he deep down?
Does he cry?
Does he frown?
Sure lions die, they're not invincible
Pleanty strong, Pleanty weak
Next time you say he's strong, be sure not to misspeak

Touching and thoughtful!
Awwww gurl! I wuv dis!! You've posed some questions that I think we can all take to heart and should for that matter. One never really knows the contents of anothers heart and cannot judge rightly by outward appearences. Wonderful cliche and very well represented! Great job girly! Thank you for your supprt given by entering darlin'.
