A tale of two cheetah cubs

by aparna81
)A sight that would melt even a heart of stone.
To find two Cheetah cubs waiting alone.
Hiding in the bushes, fearing for life.
Each passing moment brings a survival strife.
Hoping against all odds for their mother to come.
Unless she became a prey to a creature fearsome
Or may be hunted down by a man ,
Whose misdemeanor may have cut its lifespan,
Those innocent eyes are searching for their mother,
Who might have had a hard day another,
The cubs could now hear a faint growl,
As they think it might be their mother on a prowl.
Their mother has now returned from a hunt futile,
The cubs seem to give a faint smile.
Then, they suddenly come out of the bush,
To welcome their mother, who gives a slight push.
Licking her young ones with motherly love,
Even God seems to have blessed them from heaven above.
Though Mother Cheetah did not get a prey.
But she has managed to keep her enemies at bay.
From attacking her cubs on that day.
They are frolicking , being happy and gay.

Listen to your heart before doing anything. Your heart knows the best. It doesn't mean you should ignore your mind. Your heart should be strong enough to convince your mind about your decision.
