In tall grass she stands,
two young cubs at her side,
eyes fixed to the left,
upon each daily stride.
Through sun’s glare and heat,
her guard will never break,
each step, each small choice,
made for her children’s sake.
But come evening’s glow,
their claws transform to play,
they stir pots and laugh,
as the world drifts away.
In the mirror’s frame,
their smiles are enhancing,
and behind them, bold:
“This kitchen’s for dancing!”
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
