The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Lion

Listen to the poem ...
Regal beast how
proud you are,
a roar that rocks
the ground.

Mane of silk and
piercing eyes,
your grandeur’s so
profound.

With confidence
and love, the pride
confide in you
each day.

A tower of strength
and fortitude,
Lion leads
the way.
