I'M Sure It's This Way

The lion cub woke up so slow, For tired out was he And didn't know the way to go, No lions could he see! 'Oh, dear, they've left me all alone! Perhaps this is a test! I'll work it out all on my own... I wonder which way's best? ' And so he paused, as lions do, Content to search for signs, Because right then he had no clue To help the heart that pines... He first looked left and then looked right, Then circled round and round, For something that would end his plight, No matter, sight or sound... 'I'm sure it's this way! ' he presumed, As if he were correct And so his searching he resumed, So this way could be checked... The other lions laughed out loud As he chose to explore... He'd passed the test and they were proud As he joined them once more!
