The Brave Rare Lion

In the heart of Africa, under the sky so blue,
Lives a lion brave and strong, and oh so true.
Crafted with love by hands so skilled,
A symbol of courage, a dream fulfilled.

His mane is wild, his stance so proud,
In a world of whispers, he roars out loud.
Each stitch a story, each thread a cheer,
For every child, he holds so dear.

With arms that hug and eyes so kind,
He’s a friend to cherish, a rare find.
Perfectly imperfect, he stands with grace,
A reminder that we all have a special place.

Through the jungles of life, he strides along,
Brave and bold, where hearts belong.
He loves who he is, every single part,
A lion with courage, a mighty heart.

So take him home, this lion so rare,
A guardian of dreams, with love to spare.
For in his paws, you’ll find delight,
A beacon of strength, in day and night.
