This is a story that's hard to watch without feelings washing over you.


Poem Artwork

A cub, he was at the easy stage,
But grew too large for his home.
He was returned to his heritage,
A wild lion soon would become.

His foster parents after a year,
Traveled to his African range.
Approached his pride--no fear.
Here's the amazing exchange:

A Lion... after my own heart! What can I say, my dearest Leland, I still have a lump in my throat, from watching this marvelous video. And, although it does not seem to be a recent one, the message it imparts is timeless and oh, so beautifully true - Love knows no boundaries, and true friendships last a lifetime! To say that I loved this, is... an understatement. Thank you for sharing such a moving lesson! A "lioness" {{{{{{{hug}}}}}}} with lots and lots and lots of love,
Alexandra*
P.S. I've saved it, so I can watch it again... and again, and again, and again!

I saw this video some weeks back, but well worth viewing again. Animals truly amaze, and they can teach us so many things, if we only open our hearts, and listen.
