Best Poems Written by Derek Ebeltoft

The Guardian

I've been there with you every single  time, even tried to stop you from doing 
crime.
 One gets their wings every time you hear a chime, I hope I get mine I am the next 
in line.
 We've been through bad and a lot more good,  I've  protected you every chance I 
could.
 It's  not  luck  so  don't  knock  on  wood,    second   thought   maybe   you   
should.
 My  job  isn't  an easy  task ,    it's  even  harder  when  you   drink   from   the   
flask.
 Don't be afraid to take off that ugly mask, I am going to help you all you have to 
do is ask.
 I will light up your way when it is dark, or push you on the swing alone in the 
park.    
 The  fun  we  had  in  that buick skylark,  Wow   the times you had  really left its 
mark
 Now  the  line  has  moved  up  one  more,   don't  be  afraid  to  walk  out  that  
door.
 If  you  fall  I'll  pick  you  up  off  the  floor,  dust you off but you might be a little 
sore.
 He knows you mean well just wait and see,  he's already gave you what you 
need.
 A  guardian angel  without  his  wings,   now  we  can  fly  away  as  another bell 
rings.
