Guardian
Following me
to the places
I have gone
can't have been easy
for you.
Wanting to hold
me back; afraid
to let me~ be me,
has been a trial
you have endured well.
Today I sit quietly
thinking of the tribulations
I have brought into
your existence
and mine.
I thank you
Guardian
for allowing me
to grow in my own way
becoming me~ day by day by day.
Holding me safe
as danger lurked near.
Foolishness races
knowing no fear.
The unknown a friend.
You know I can't promise
to behave for it would be untrue.
I will instead promise to try
to recall that you are with me.
close behind~ Protecting.
I will try not
to ever again
show you anything
that causes you
to cover your angelic eyes!
