The Honey Badger
The Honey Badger
There's a true story of a small honey badger taking on six adult lions. The honey badger has strength, ferocity and toughness. It is fearless and will even hunt black mambas. May we also be fearless like the honey badger and stand our ground.Â
My daughter Katelyn drew the picture here.Â
He's ugly
He's tiny
He just doesn't look right
But he will take on a lion
In any old fightÂ
He's fearless
He's tenacious
With every small breathÂ
But he will take on black mambas
And fight to the death
He surprises
He frightensÂ
Has more strength than you know
Digs tunnels in minutesÂ
He's always on the go
There's meaningÂ
There's lessons
All of us can learn
We must be like the badger
Fearless at any turnÂ
We need boldness
We need toughness
Though we can seem small
Though we are outnumbered
May we answer the call
We see lionsÂ
We see foes
With malicious attacksÂ
But there's other honey badgers

Who will have your backs
