Many tigers can get along, <br />Yet brothers most of all, <br />Beyond the bond that makes them strong, <br />Regardless, great or small... <br />Of all the creatures on this Earth, <br />That roam both near and far, <br />Heed well when tigers show their worth, <br />Each one proves he's a star! <br />Reach past the tiger's eye and see <br />Kept hidden there behind, <br />Enthusiastic harmony, <br />Valued because it's kind... <br />In families, where love holds sway, <br />No harm is borne of hate, <br />Much joy is brought and shared each day <br />And there to celebrate... <br />Rejoicing isn't always shown, <br />Try smiling every hour, <br />It's simply good they're not alone, <br />No need displaying power... <br />Distinguished fellows side by side <br />Are safe through self-control, <br />Love's there to bless each tiger's stride, <br />Each going for a stroll... <br /> <br /> <br />Denis Martindale, copyright, November 2013. <br /> <br /> <br />The poem is based on the magnificent painting <br />by Stephen Gayford called 'Brotherly Love'. <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/brotherly-love-6/
