Eye Of The Tiger

When Nature’s minions go all out frightful,

Warm hearth fires make life most delightful;

Tasty morsels of food help allay fear

And make winter’s last dance seem less severe.

Just days ago song birds welcomed spring,

Now fluff up, huddle and seldom take wing,

Spring lambs stop prance to ask why and wherefore

Cold freight trains of north wind like lions roar.

Much as life throws challenges your way,

Tidbits of chaos poised to dismay,

Never say die, akin a roughrider 

And take life head-on with eye of the tiger
