Flying tiger through the sky
Amongst the trees soaring high
Then caught by leafy cage and kept
A laughing child stopped then wept
Captured tiger, tail in patches
A tree’s burr the poly fur snatches
One glass bead looks down at the boy
A weeping child and an imprisoned toy
Then like a cannon the snare destroyed
A baseball thrown from boy annoyed
The fettered feline by leather missile saved
Falls on a child whose tears’ve been stayed
The older boy collects his ball
The smaller boy stands up tall
And his hiccuping thanks he bade
With simple actions a friendship made
God bless,
