For The Lioness I know...




















She's not a wall flower. She's a sunflower. Nature seems to have shown some prejudice when she fashioned the lioness with enough vivacity, cleverness, grace, beauty, and just plain sex appeal for at least three women, with some left over. Don't expect to tame her into a docile little maid who hangs on your every word. Consider yourself lucky if she meets you halfway, respects you, is willing to be your partner and allows you to possess her emotionally. By the very act of permitting you to love her, she's practically knighted you, for heaven's sake. Seriously, you could do a lot worse. A lioness is a lot of woman. She's rather a luxury item, not available in the bargain basement. It pays to remember that she can act up a storm, and pretend to be as sweet and harmless as a bowl of jelly beans. She may have a voice like a whisper, gentle, courteous manners and big, soft eyes that sparkle delight­fully when she bats her lashes. Lioness can appear to be as smooth and calm as a cool and placid lake. On guard. That's just a role she assumed because it got good reviews. Remove her as the star of your love production, cast her in the part of the understudy or second lead, and you'll soon find out just how shy and submissive she isn't. Don't blame the lioness for her occasional arrogance and vanity. It's her nature to feel herself above the common masses.You can't really expect her to step down from a throne that's her birthright. She's a typical Sun child, she's so gracious and dazzling that most people gladly give her credit for being out of the ordinary. Truthfully, she is. She's intelli­gent, witty, strong, and capable, yet deliciously feminine at the same time. No one in his right mind could call that common. Eventually, she'll tire of her gilded cage and want to roam the jungle to see what's doing with all the other cats out there. She may romp and play with her cubs, have long, chummy talks with them, but she'll also teach them to snap to attention like soldiers, polish their manners, and be obedient to their elders. She'll lead her own life, keeping a watchful eye out for her cubs, from a distance.
There are times when she'll lose her dignity and poise and become a rollocking, playful lioness, with a flair for pure slapstick. She can roar with laughter like a healthy animal, but when the moment is gone, the satin voice and regal bearing will return.

It was all for the love of...LIONESS
