The Elusive Road...

Flummoxed was the shark,
for everyone but her could climb the trees.
Forgotten, she truly had, her ability to rule the seas.

Perplexed was the eagle,
'cos everyone but her could peck at fruits & flies.
Buried, she had, the reality, that she is the countess of these endless skies.

Riled was the lion,
for everyone but him could feed on grain.
Bygone, had the thought, that he was the overlord of this terrain.

Don't be disheartened,
if you can't toil amidst the dirt & mules.
For you my son, were prophesied to rule.

If the times are hard, persevere.
If the challenge is tough, persist.
For yours be this world & the one where legends exist.
