The Protector

What would I do without him
He's as patient as can be
He never asks for anything
He was simply made for me

Rain, hail, sleet or snow
Nothing stands in his way
He is my soul protecter
He guards us everyday

I know he may not look like much
For people point and laugh
But he can't help the way he looks
He's just chosen a different path

He only has one expression
And I've never heard him complain
Even when he's left outside
In the cold or pouring rain

To me he's part of our family
And he'll always have a home
Who did youi think I was talking about?
For it's only my garden gnome
