Life in the jungle is brutal
The Cheetah pursued with power and grace
The gazelle raced for her life
The race is not to the fleet,
neither power, a free gift
but wisdom from above trumps them all.

I have read your contributions in Haiku poetry and had never appreciated them as much as I have today. Done my first Haiku poem and I can say, all hats off for you ma’am. You are indeed a great writer
