The two white tigers looked so cute, <br />Within their comfort zone, <br />As if each other stayed astute, <br />Protective of their own... <br />Such partnerships, of course, are rare, <br />White tigers are quite scarce, <br />No wonder, then, some folks take care, <br />White tigers have such class... <br /> <br />If conservation saves these, too, <br />White tigers will be safe, <br />For now, they're just a precious few, <br />Though each of these is brave... <br />It isn't just the fragile lives <br />That humans must protect, <br />We hope each tiger still survives, <br />Not one we dare reject... <br /> <br />While numbers dwindle year-by-year, <br />Protected species roam, <br />As long as humans hold them dear, <br />Preserving every home... <br />That's why such creatures still exist, <br />Find some peace now and then, <br />Yet truly folks who don't persist <br />Won't see their like again... <br /> <br /> <br />Denis Martindale, copyright, July 2013. <br /> <br /> <br />The poem is based on the magnificent painting <br />by Stephen Gayford called 'Just The Two Of Us'. <br /> <br /> <br />More Stephen Gayford poems here: <br />denis-martindale-dot-blogspot-dot-com<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-the-two-of-us-10/
