Reassurance from a Lamassu

Please, be not afraid.

I protect and guard only.

You will be safe here.

I am neither man nor beast.

Even so, I am your friend.

    Lovely tanka. We should not judge anyone or anything by looks for they can be a friend when we need them to be. Great timing with the shot. Those passer-bys certainly look fascinated by the Lamassu figure 🙂
