Infant Of The Snows

Snow leopard cub, just lying there, At present, all alone, With no-one else nearby to care Your bed is made of stone... With snow a-falling close to you, How long will you stay warm? And what on Earth can small cubs do, If there should be a storm? Snow leopard cub, just lying still, Your small white nose so cold, Do you possess an iron will, The patience to grow old? Have you the courage to endure, The true grit and reserve? If yes, then may God grant you more, If you can hold your nerve... Snow leopard cub, should I draw near? Have you the will to live? Is your young heart now filled with fear? New hope I hope to give... To wait a while, would that be wrong? I have some food to share, Yes, here it is... Eat up, be strong... Take heart, do not despair...
