A Stoic Shoulder to Cry on

Sarabi cried
After what happened to Mufasa.
The love of her life trampled
By nature, arbitrarily turning against him,
Why wouldn't she react how Simba did?

Suppose she was there with Simba when it happened.
Of course she wants to cry,
Wants to scream to the sky,
To ask God why.
But something stops her.

She can't figure it out. Her logic is telling her to cry, but
Not her heart. She looks to Simba.
He's crying just fine.
And that's why.

Where will be look for strength, his only source now cut down?
He needs a role model to guide him,
To be strong for him,
To let him know it will be okay.
