Best Guard Poems

My sweet child
My daughter
Be on guard
Be on guard of the man
Who plays on your heartstrings…
Not with flirtatious smile
Nor with flexed muscles
Not with devouring eyes
Nor with intellectual prowess
Or clothes so fine

No, these you can resist
You can set boundaries
And be done
The threat, false alarms 
Their charm easily...

As we worship, bring the silence
in gracious peace ring down the day.
Stay the light that's stained with violence,
deliver calm, pass ill storms away.

Send to us your guileless servant,
pure of faith and stainless heart.
Confer to him a truce so verdant  
with joyous love and hope...

Patriot Guard funeral Escort
Loch David Crane
August, 2008

Today is sunny: with three dozen bikes,
some decorated cars,  a pair of trikes,
two dozen Marines: all of the family
and toddlers to set their Daddy free
into the Great Beyond beyond the sky
where loved ones send their veterans who die.

There's a lady who's caused quite a kerfuff
Her lil "nawdy" rhymes made some blush and chuff
Might call the police! 
Will that bring them peace? 
They'll prolly just use her fur-lined handcuffs...

A-n early morn has broken, 
B-ringing light to Sunday; 
E-vening rain disappears, 
G-ray haze fades away.
A-nother dusk has turned
I-nto a break of new dawn; 
L-et the twilight leave, as the shadows are gone.

A-llow your life to go on, 
B-egin to move forward; 
O-pen your bag...

I shut down
I'm broken down
But, I will rise
You'll soon realize
With your starlit eyes
That I am not afraid anymore

I won't let my guard
Like I did before
I know life can get hard
My wings will soar

We are shimmering bright like pretty stars
Will someone come here and heal my...

Somewhere you are sitting
Unaware of how I feel
Then again maybe you know
How I wish that you'd reveal
Every now and then
I like to close my eyes
Pretend that you're with me
The dreams I fantasize
Honestly I wish you knew
The things inside my heart
Everytime I think of you
I wish...

Cool breeze swept into the room
Sound of trees rustling and hustling
Birds were silent, winds singing
Fright walked in ghostly gloom

 Here stood a bloody evil-like monster
A deadly giant of about seven feet tall
Crouched in the dark of the house wall
Crouching slowly, a mortal master

 I held my breath...

 melting snowball 

Fall-out started with the spring-break competition;
Errors were made as team effort slid downhill.
Then when name-calling sparked a partition,
esprit-de-corps broke to a stand-still.

“Butterfingers!” the dig of choice,
sabers, rifles drop in flight.
“Cretin!” answers a voice,
winter guard backbite.

“Bozo, Clod, Clown”
teenage jeers, 
meltdown - 
tears.

Security guard 

I was broke, no work for me at the shipping office,
got a job guarding tractors; sat in a hut that was cold and had no heating
and bad light. Well, this job was better than sitting at home
lamenting my unemployment, but my god was...
