The Protector Poem by James Casey

The Protector

When the night is very dark,
And cold drafts sneak into your room,
Then the monsters slither on your floor,
And their going to get you soon

Remember the one who loves you.
Please remember those who care.
Pull your blanket over you head
Keep in mind I'm always there.

I'm the brute that lies within you.
I'm your courage against the dark.
I'll scare away all those monsters
That haunt you in the park.

I'm your cuddly bear at night.
I'm your guard dog in the eve.
But if you're hurt I'll be the blight
That crushes all those who deceive.
