Elephant - A Good Luck Symbol
by Girija Sridhar
The majestic Elephant is a strong good luck symbol,
Largest in the jungle, yet so humble.
In his small measured steps, there is a royal elegance,
And in his tiny kind eyes, a look of benevolence.
Atop his back, the KING exudes an air of regality and command,
Unaffected, the Elephant performs his duty, making no demand.
Silently he has endured, countless arrows on the battlefield,
But with tremendous courage, protected his master, like a shield.
Elephant believes in nurturing strong family ties,
It is evident when yonder, one of his kin dies.
His loud trumpet is said to be a wake-up call,
To separate old thought patterns, break through the attachment wall.
Call upon the Elephant when facing an obstacle, a barrier,
And he will steer you to safety, like a true warrior.
We salute you dear Elephant, for many a gem-like quality,
You are the true embodiment of harmony, patience and dignity.
