Safeguard

Well of course you may be filled with doubts;

that's just how Life

usually works.

And you may find hard to accept some of those;

that's just how Life

tricks you the most.

-

One thing is for sure: never doubt reaching out;

I'm always out there

thinking of you.

Even if feeling ashamed for what you just did;

I'm always out there

waiting your cue.

*

I will stand - maybe in silence - observing your path;

guarding your six,

watching your light.

I know facts about human life a little more than you;

guarding your six,

always my fight.

-

You are never alone, even if I seem to be too far away;

you can count on me

replying your call.

Even if you need me in person, no questions asked;

you can count on me

hitting the road.

*

Feel safe and secure, loved for sure, as I love you so much;

never doubt of yourself

reaching your goals.

Be honest and fair, with others around, always decent and kind;

never doubt of yourself

opening doors.

-

One day you will see that the fight was worth having;

guarding a Life

will be now on you.

My only hope is that you'll be so well prepared;

guarding a Life

will be your greatest virtue.

*
