TOUCHED THE TIGER

I have touched the tiger and have walked with the mighty wolf
I have laughed with the spotted leopard and healed those who walk upon the hoof
The messengers of the airways have graced me with their song
The creatures of the water have allowed me to swim along
Each has their own special way, each does their own part
Their spirits guide my footsteps, their souls guide my heart
Without them there to guide me and teach what life’s about
Makes me so much poorer of that there is no doubt
I have been their shepherd and they have been my light
For I have touched the tiger and they have given me sight.
