James
(Note this is about and describes my younger brother. He really is a tiger among men. Every time we go out people notice him and I -swear- that he looks like a stalking panther as he walks around.)

James
Who is this tiger?
Young and sleek,
Swift and powerful.
He stalks among the young men,
The young women stop and take notice.
In anger a fierce storm.
In solitude a sleeping kitten.
Warn him, Warn him,
Let him seek his Master
Let him hunt his Lord’s game
Lest strangers come and bind him,
Lest hunters take his fur.
Aha! On his master’s leach he is without equal
At his Master’s side who can restrain him?
He curls around the weak as a guard.
He stalks the enemies of his Master and rends them without mercy.
A tiger in prayer.
A lion in love.
Loyal and bold,
A panther among men.
