"Very Special - Meerkats Anthem"
Here's the hymn of the Meerkats, such as I imagined it. They song through this verses about things of long ago, but not for that lost in memory.
The music is exactly like in "The village of dwarves".
If we look behind a million stories
and far beyond the tide of countless years...
We'll find the Firsts of our Kin.
Royal consorts, Lady and King,
who then gave birth to the firstborns
in our Meerkats Hometown.
The Sun, those times, was like a daily blessing
and every night a haven full of peace.
We had an endless Spring
and the cold rain would only bring
a gift of hope and renewal,
in our Meerkats Hometown.
The Eagles used to carry happy Meerkats
and give them all an hour ride each day.
We always allowed Snakes
in the Burrows to sleep and stay
with newborns cuddling to them
in our Meerkats Hometown.
Many of us would watch the stars delighted,
like trying to read a book in each of them.
The Constellations up there
always watching over our dreams,
were prized above any treasure
in our Meerkats Hometown.
And now, of course, we must get to the story
of those who built the first 'Kat family.
The elder Lord and his wife
have become a legend in life,
and now we'll never forget them
in our Meerkats Hometown.
Those unforgettable times
can be felt right under our feet,
while shining inside our hearts
like the morning light.

"Another Legend About Meerkats"
In a deep part of the Kalahari, not very far from a river, there lives a group of Bushmen composed of eleven families. Many of them recollect fruits, water and plants, while the others guard their cattle.
But soon they find out how hard it's to protect their priceless livestock.
Every two or three days, Jackals come and kill a Goat. And sometimes, about thirty minutes after a mysterious hissing noise, one of the Goats falls heavily to the ground, dying a few moments later.
Such situation goes on for three months; however, the Bushmen know how hard would be finding a better place to settle in.
But when one of their children dies because of a Cape Cobra, the time comes to find some solution.
Oree-Khwe, their Chief, knows many places, but some of them would take at least one day of march,
And several people, who had been praying, bring to all the same (osada) question: "Why would the Gods create creatures that could kill them and their Goats?"
To this, not even Oree-Khwe has any answer, but if all they can do is keep praying, they will.
Less than two months later, the Bushmen loose seven Goats hunted by Jackals and two more bitten by Cape Cobras; their desperate beggings seem completely ignored by the Gods. And Oree-Khwe finally goes right after sunrise in search of another place to live. He will be out there for many hours.
Suddenly, a young shepherd sees something wonderful: a group of small creatures seem to fight with a Snake, But they don't attack the Cape Cobra; they simply push her away, forcing her to go in one direction. When she leaves, the Shepherd goes to tell his people about it as soon as he can.
Now they start to feel that their prayers have been heard after all.
When their Chief returns having chosen a new place for them all, the Bushmen tell him what Kusi has witnessed. Then Oree-Khwe and the others start to watch closely how Meerkats behave in front of any danger and soon they learn new ways to defend the lives of themselves along with their livestock's.
The next morning, very early, everyone goes to see the Meerkats seemingly watching the rising Sun; Then some new chants are made thanking their Gods, but also to those creatures who taught them so much. Since that day, they call them "Jua Malaika" * (Angels of the Sun), the protectors against all evil creatures which from now on will harm their livestock no more.
*(This is Swahili -literally "Sun Angel"-, but I'm not sure to find these words in the language of Bushmen).
This is the link to my 1st legend about them:

"Meerkats Go To The Far West"
But the tiny critter is no ‘lone ranger’ – being one of triplets recently born at the Parrot Zoo in Friskney.
“We built a western-style town for the Meerkats which started off with just a saloon bar,” said zoo owner Steve Nichols. “But it now has a bank, jail, sheriff’s office, general stores, a church and graveyard complete with tombstones.
“It opened in September and we let them go in as an experiment at first but we could soon see they were hanging out and congregating around the church.”
The three lively babies are yet to be named – but staff at the zoo are inviting suggestions from visitors.
“Because they were born in the church we have had a lot of biblical names suggested,” said Steve.
This is the second time they have given birth at the Parrot Zoo and its Meerkat enclosure is now one of the largest in the UK, measuring 120 ft by 40 ft.
Steve added: “The meerkats are by far the most popular attraction - we’ve got more than 2,000 parrots, lemurs, reptiles and other mammals, but when people see the Meerkats they just turn to jelly.”

"Two Princes And One Flower"
Anyway, here it is... Hope you enjoy it, then.
There lived a Lady in some desert land.
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
She had the greatest law in her hands.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
Sometimes the Flower, sometimes the Rose.
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
But always mother and Queen for us.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
Her star shone brighter since she was born.
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
She just got stronger being left alone.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
Two Meerkat Princes then found her way,
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
but only one could share her days.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
Would you please, fair Lady, be my wife?
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
Say yes and you'll have the happiest life.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
But I can give you a hoard of dreams
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
turning to children in every Spring.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
And so the other Prince had to wait.
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
Yet marry that Queen was his real fate.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
He won her heart to stay by her side.
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
Of great Kings now he had the pride.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
A dinasty with his wife he made
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
that ne'er in centuries would fade.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
She was the biggest Queen by own right,
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
and he was Zaphod his valiant Knight.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
This royal couple would always stand
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
just like the rock lying beneath the sand.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
When face to face with black death she was,
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
she surely left bleeding her nose.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.
And now that Flower will always stay
-Feel the warmth of the morning Sun-
in Zaphod's arms till the end of days.
Fa, la la la la, la la la la la.

"Garden For Just One Flower"
There was a strange planet
ten million stars away,
in which Meerkats were always
very happy and free.
It had mostly deserts
to play, and sleep, and thrive in;
but even more than that,
they had a true Queen.
And she was so famous
among her old people,
that no one ruled better
In their desert planet...
Only the Big Flower:
Queen who came from Heaven.

"Flower For Just One Garden"
This would be what Meerkat Queens sing at their final moment in life, alone or surrounded by their family.
My kingdom was thought to last for ever...
East straight to sunset, like some birds do
early in the morning, which runs from the Moon,
returning to start a great Meerkat era.
Kingdoms of legend last ad infinitum...
And mine brought a future for many a Meerkat,
to shine like a desert of the Golden Era,
making us believe in the gods of good luck.
And now what I made for my kin seems all over...
Now remains my legacy for all to see
on them all, like the better part of me,
reigning like a Queen Star with crown of argentum.

"Garden Of Just One Flower"
I heard this song two or three years ago and thought
"It talks completely about Flower!"
Now you can read the lyrics and see it for yourselves...
She
May be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred tearful things
Within the measure of the day.
She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside a shell.
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that can and hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember till the day I die.
She
May be the reason I survive
The why and where for I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I got to be
The meaning of my life is
She...

“Tosca & Daisy Relief And Happiness”
If we ever could cross our way,
I'd be there just to hear your words;
and you could tell of your life the whole day
like sad songs of ancient cords.
And if suddenly tears
start to fall from your eyes
I won't tell you 'no, don't cry',
'cause you'll know for yourself
that when big sorrows shine
they make all your sadness disappear.
So don't hold them,
they'll take all your sorrows away
and you'll have wings
that take you to Heavens of joy.
If you, little girl, could see me some day
just as you were born that time,
I would always let your little hands stay
like birds in the nest of mine.
Dear Tosca, your name will mean always so much
to millions of following friends;
and though you never enjoyed your crown,
you lived like a very true Queen.
So remember,
some crowns are for no one to see
while they shine there
like the Sun of the dawn in your head.
(The lyrics goes with this song by Enya):

"Garden For Just One Flower"

Flower was born on the 15th March in the year 2000. She was born in a group called the Whiskers, formed in 1998. Her mother was the dominant female of the Whiskers at that time, she was Holly, she was from the Young Ones origin. Her father was actually a roving male. He originated from a group called the Rascals. He was Kine. Her father was not the dominant male of the Whiskers, Argon. Flower's conception happened when Holly came into season after giving birth to her previous litter. Argon was not mate guarding her as intensively as dominant males normally always do. She mated with Kine and after seventy days (pregnancy for Meerkats), Flower was born. Flower was born in a litter of four pups. She was actually the smallest pup in the litter. She had three other litter-mates. These were her sister Petal, and her two brothers Thumper and Hazel. Her brother Thumper was the largest pup. Flower and her siblings were born during the time when the Whiskers numbered nineteen animals. Females included her mother Holly who was the dominant female for three years. Her older half sisters, Vialli, Zola, Aramis and Wahine. Her older cousins, Risca, Artemis and Aphrodite. Males included her step father Argon, his brother Delpheus, a wild male Beetle, her older half brothers Dennis Wise, Porthos, Athos, Rangi, Orgali, Tama. Her older cousins, Lancelot and Jean-Luc. Flower and her siblings spent their young lives under ground. The first of their family to meet was Risca (a yearling at that time) who curiously entered the birth chamber where Holly and the pups lay. Her mum Holly would go off foraging so her older female cousins or half sisters would often babysit Flower. When Flower reached the age of two weeks old, her cousin Lancelot was on babysitting duty when another group, the Lazuli first attacked the Whiskers burrow. The dominant female of the Lazuli, Ziziphus, almost killed Flower and her siblings but thanks to her cousin Lancelot who defended them, she survived. Flower reached the age of three weeks old and she was ready to emerge from the burrow for the first time.
Flower and her siblings were ready to head off foraging with the family at the age of four weeks old. The group foraged and at this age, all Flower had to do is beg for food. She was not expected to find her own food until the age of four months or more. She was brought food by the other Meerkats. The most generous of her elders was her half sister Vialli and cousin Risca. Her mother Holly, as the dominant female, didn't really contribute to bring food. As the they got older, Flower and her siblings went out foraging with the adults more often. As the Whiskers were moving fast, her sister Petal lagged behind. Petal calls reached her older half sister Vialli. Vialli went back for Petal until she heard the calls of another pup being lost: it was Flower. Vialli dropped Petal and went back for Flower. Once she got Flower and tried to return to Petal, Petal had already been in the talons of a Gosshawk. Vialli and Flower returned to the Whiskers. Although she lost her sister, at least she was safe. Flower and her brothers grew up more into juveniles. She did start finding food for herself and did not beg for food as much as she did as a pup. She started to take babysitting duties though she was still too young. She was about nine months old when her mother Holly gave birth to a new litter. That litter consisted of her younger sister Smithers.
Flower was an adult at the age of a year old. She now began to take babysitting duties and sentry duties. Eleven days after her the birth of her new younger siblings Smithers, Mr Burns and Montogomery, her mother Holly was taken by a Martial Eagle. Flower lost her mother on the 19th September 2000. Flower was still too young to take her mother's place as the dominant female, so her older cousin Risca took the position. The life for Flower and her brothers Thumper and Hazel did not change. Risca however was weak in terms of being able to control the breeding success of the other females. Most of the adult females mated with roving males. Her step father Argon and most of the males had left the group. Only Beetle stayed in the Whiskers and took the position of dominant male. Soon Beetle and some of the other males (including her brothers, Thumper and Hazel) left to go roving. A new group of eight Vivian males joined the Whiskers. Izit, one of the males, took the dominant male position in the Whiskers group. Risca still could not control the other females like a dominant female, like Holly, should and all above a year old (including Flower) mated with the new males. Risca, Vialli, Zola, Artemis, Aphrodite, Aramis and Wahine were all pregnant by the new males. Flower did not conceive. All the pregnant females, except her cousin Artemis, lost their litters to each other. Life in the Whiskers went. Some of the Whiskers males that left the group returned but were chased off by the Vivian males. That was the last interval where Flower saw her brothers Thumper and Hazel.
The Whiskers group dynamics were changing. Risca's grip on power weakened. She eventually lost dominance to Vialli. Risca, Wahine and most of the older subordinate females were evicted. Flower was now the second oldest female in the group. She and Vialli both mated with some of the new males. The former dominant Izit also lost his dominant position to his younger half brother Zaphod. Vialli often bullied Flower despite the fact that she cared for her as a pup. Both Flower and Vialli were pregnant. Flower was pregnant for the first time in her life. She was the first of the two to give birth, but Vialli killed her newborn pups as soon as they were born. Vialli then gave birth to her litter of seven pups.
Whiskers Queen
A few weeks after her pups started foraging, Vialli disappeared and was probably taken by a predator. Flower was the oldest female in the group and established her dominance over the other females (including her younger sister Smithers and her nieces Ugly Pup, Mi Julie and Rydapuni). She was now about two years old and for the first time in her life, she was the dominant female of the Whiskers. This was on the 7th February 2002.
Flower then began to take leadership of the group. Zaphod was still the dominant male and his relationship with Flower changed. When she was a subordinate female he had paid little attention towards her, but now being the dominant female, he seldom left her side. Vialli's pups made it to adulthood. Flower's breeding success was now increased as the dominant female. She was pregnant, but her nieces Mi Julie, Ugly Pup and her younger sister by nine months, Smithers, were also pregnant. Flower gave birth, but her litter was again, killed by another female, Mi Julie. Mi Julie gave birth but Smithers killed her litter. Smithers gave birth, but Ugly Pup killed her litter. Ugly Pup then had her litter which none of her pups made it to adulthood. Flower then began to evict some of her subordinate females. She evicted Smithers, Mi Julie, Ugly Pup and Rydapuni from the group. Flower conceived another litter again, and this time, there were no other pregnant subordinate females in the group which would threaten her pups' survival. That was when she gave birth to her very first surviving litter of three pups, Tosca, Stato and Skinner this was on the 18 / 08 / 2002. All her litter survived. This litter was fathered by Zaphod. After producing two litters, Flower came back into season and mated with a roving male from the Gattaca called Mr. Wendell Gattaca and gave birth to three pups. She produced litter after litter. As the dominant female, Flower had the right to breed exclusively for herself and would not allow any of her daughters to breed. Her two daughters Mozart and Baddiel both had litters of pups, but Flower allowed them to live. She did however attack and evict Mozart and Tosca from the Whiskers family. She then led a burrow move which forced her daughter Super Furry Animal (Daisy on Meerkat Manor) to abandon her pups and stay with her family. When the Whiskers split into two due to their large numbers (because Flower allowed Tosca and Mozart's litters to live), she led half of the family while her evicted daughter Tosca had enough nerve to return and take leadership of the splinter group. Soon the Whiskers were re-united. Flower was very furious with Tosca and banished her from the Whiskers for good. Flower was also a caring mother having produced over forty seven pups. Flower's breeding parner changed when Zaphod lost dominance to his litter-mate brother Yossarian, who became Flower's mate and fathered two of her litters before Zaphod deposed him. Flower ruled the Whiskers for five years.
Litters:
Flower gave birth to her first litter on August 18, 2002 to Baddiel, Stato and Skinner. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her second litter on November 8, 2002 to Einstein, Mozart, Shakespeare and Freud. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her third litter on January 24, 2003 to Cookie, Pookie and Sookie. The litter was fathered by Mr. Wendell.
Flower gave birth to her fourth litter on December 6, 2003 to Kinkajou, Rocket Dog, Ragga Muffin and Super Furry Animal. The litter was fathered by Yossarian.
Flower gave birth to her fifth litter on February 22, 2004 to Monkulus, Armanita Ditch, Pozzo, Lucky and Zarathustra. The litter was fathered by Yossarian.
Flower gave birth to her sixth litter on September 6, 2004 to Hawkeye, Logan, Mitch and Cruise. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her seventh litter on December 6, 2004 to Petra, Machu Pichu, Ningaloo and Popkat. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her eighth litter on February 22, 2005 to Kim, Flo and Finn. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her ninth litter on August 26, 2005 to Billy, Miles, Ella and Baker. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her tenth litter on November 11, 2005 to Bananas, Butch Cassidy, Sundance, Alonzo Mourning and Orinoco. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her eleventh litter on January 29, 2006 to Panthro, Cheetara and Wiley Kat. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her twelfth litter on September 2, 2006 to Suggs, Izzy and Busta. The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Flower gave birth to her thirteenth litter on November 20, 2006 to VWM112 and VWM113 (Names unknown, it seems...). The litter was fathered by Zaphod.
Death
Flower had been in charge of the Whiskers family for five years. She was about seven years old. The Whiskers were returning from the days forage and Flower and the group came across a Cape Cobra near the babysitting burrow. The Whiskers managed to see it off but could not drive it away. The Cobra made its way into the Whiskers burrow. The Whiskers tried to mob it but without succession. Flower took it in herself went down below ground to confront the deadly intruder. She was given a fatal bit to the head. Her head swelled up from the venom bumping in her body to her head. Flower was weak and could not forage or join the others. She laid still near the burrow entrance until her last breath faded away. Flower sadly died. This was on the 16th January 2007.

"Garden For Just One Flower"
Your eyes were burning Suns
in every challenge,
when someone dared
to face your majesty...
And there you'd go at them
without a question,
to prove that only you could be the Queen.
Flower, of burning eyes
and soft heart,
of hugging arms
and strong hands...
Who's now under your care ?
Mother... To know each moment right.
Mother... To give welcomes and goodbyes.
Flower..., Flower..., Flower...
You gave your life for all, that day,
and now your heart will never fail.
Time doesn't mean too much
if you're in Heaven,
but here a year
can be a long long time...
When one much loved
has gone and crossed the Rainbow,
and only left behind sweet memories.
Flower, if you're still
there in Heaven,
its gardens
will be amazing,
for having such a Rose...
Mother... To keep your children safe.
Mother... To be loved and get respect.
Flower..., Flower..., Flower...
Your Sun set down inside that den...
A Moon of legends was born then.

"Mozart's Relief And Happiness"
in that desert land so cruel ?
You were born to fight for your dreams
which fell from your broken heart.
Your life seemed a punishment
and you endured it all like a martyr...
Your love was big, but not so strong
against a life hard as stone.
Hold me tight... Calm your sorrows ;
Come, sweet girl... Forget all your sadness here.
Why do you tell me those things ?
Now I'm almost breaking down...
I can't believe that tragic life,
nobody suffers so much.
What have become of my dreams,
and where's the love I seem to have forgotten ?
If all you've said is just the thruth,
where I will find what I lost ?
Hold me now.. Calm yor sorrows here ;
come, sweet girl... Forget your old sadness here.
Hold me now...
for now you've gained a place reserved for Queens.
Don't stay sad,
cry only if you need...
There can't be sorrows here ;
and all you want
you will always have,
for those tears you've shed in life.
If my life after all
was an ocean of tears,
that my heart had to hide
while my eyes had inside...
there were no more ways
in which I could sail out
to reach this shore in my soulboat.
Now I know with all my heart
that I'm at last
where love can be so perfect,
and where my soul would like to stay
just to be part of every heart.
Yet if I stay here for long
while down on Earth there's someone
full of sorrows, I should take there
the love that's here
and change all sadness into joy.
Hold me tight... My little Angel.
hold me tight, your heart needs not to be blessed ;
come, sweet girl... Your love knows no frontiers ;
come, sweet girl... Your soul now needs to sleep here ;
hold me tight now... You don't have to go so soon ;
hold me tight... For now you'll live in the place,
in the place where you belong.
"Garden For Just One Flower"
forgive me...
If time passed so much
and I didn't think about
how important you've been;
fill my heart
with your light,
please bring it to me
from where you're now,
and leave that love
shining endlessly.
Flower of my sky,
keep growing...
You've blossomed enough
but there's no end to
what you can give and receive;
being the Queen,
being the flower
you've got your hands full
with all the love
to give away
that you got in life.
Never forget how
we always have loved you,
as much as your children or more...
Never let that light
fade out with tides
of our troubled and hard lives;
don't let that happen;
we'll still love you.
Star...
My Queen Flower...
How I need to know
that yor smooth light
will always be
somewhere high above.
Star of my nights,
Flower of my sky...
Don't ever fade.

"Garden For Just One Flower"
must start or end, my Flower...
No matter how many days
can bring the night to us.
As long as there's a Rose
blossoming in fire;
or a Meerkat's born
bringing in the future...
Your memory will stay
even though mine fades
or becomes the thin air.
Your story will be
in minds, souls and hearts,
treasured and remembered.
