I want the toughness

Of a lion when its hunting its pray not scared to jump out at any time.

Of the shy kid that stands up to the bully knowing she cant beat him.

Of a guard dog that sees someone breaking into its home that it protects do dearly.

Of a tree struggling to live during the winter as its leaves fall and branches break in the wind.

Of the rain when its lashing down like whips on the poor people under it.

Of the couch having a family being raised on it until it happens all over again.

Of a steel bottle being bruised and bashed but still offers drinks for years to come.
