Poem: Influence {Pearlharbor}

 

Once upon a time in the jungle deep,

A lion was born with the heart of a sheep. The herd of the goats stayed around him, he was too scared of the unknown to make a peep.

He thought he was like the others he saw, Living life in their planned scripted draw. Acting like a goat, not knowing his paw, He could not see what he had in soul.

But then one day, a strange roar in the air, Came from a lion who was strong and fair. The little lion knew that he was there, And decided to follow this lion's stare.

So for days and weeks, the lion did dwell, In the company of the powerful lion fell. He watched and learned with every tell, Of the courage and strength of the lion so swell.

The little lion's heart began to grow, The power of the lion he did know. He was no longer scared to show, The strength and courage that he'd come to know.

And so from that day on, the lion grew bold, He was the King of the Jungle, his story was told. The lesson here for us to behold, Is to choose friends and mentors wisely and be ever-so bold.

For the influence of circumstance is strong, And it's often hard to know right from wrong. So be sure to choose friends who can help you along, And who can help you become wise and strong.
