GUARDIAN

Thoughts on caring for loved ones...

             GUARDIAN

 

 An angel I am not, and wings I do not bear

but as for guarding over you I will always be there

 

You are now but a helpless child, someday you'll be a man,

even as that time comes you need never have concern

as I will forever be by your side

 

You may not always see me, or hear my voice in your ears

but in your heart you will feel me for I would never leave there

 

You will forever have memories of all the times we have shared,

keep them close to your heart as you can always find me there

 

Never fear my child, for you will be watched over, not only by me

but by many others so much higher, that already have you safe in their care

 

Keep your heart open, find the peace within, & accept what gifts you are given

Never forget to show, Love, Hope and Kindness to those who do not have it,

and you and I will be sure to meet again

 

In a place so much nicer, where hope is already a given, and there will be no starving,

havoc will not even exist, and harmony will be the thing that we all live in

Author's Note

I think I need to find some different words for, always and forever, that will still go with the flow... what do you think?

Always alternatives? ~~ any time; eternally; invariably; perpetually

Forever althernatives? ~~ eternally, aeon also eon; or perhaps infinitely? I do love the symbol for eternity and the ankh as well.

Don't know if any of these words will flow the way you desire but, they might inspire other words to use?
Good luck.

It's so full of emotion, a real high-class poem.
Sure glad Michael added it to his library, if he hadn't than I wouldn't have found out about it.

Windy, You presented this poem with passion from the heart, and ideals that center around belief, expressing what it truly takes to be a guardian angel, or a caring, loving indivisual, as one can feel the embrace of sentiment you place within the

opening stanzas, in just the graceful way a mother would nurture a child with love and support, to be hopeful, you render this poem with meaning, the effects are encouraging, at the end, speaking wisdom into the foundation, and giving the keys to

what it takes to succeed in life as well instilling value for the future,
Beautiful and soft spoken, the form, font color created a nice ambience.
Take Care, Mike

Favorite Stanza:

Keep your heart open, find the peace within, & accept what gifts you are given
Never forget to show, Love, Hope and Kindness to those who do not have it,
and you and I will be sure to meet again

I can't suggest much...nothing actually. I like this piece just the way it is. So peaceful, so loving. I felt great after reading this. It was like my own mum was reading this for me...
Made me feel loved....
Great Job!!!

[LadyLove]

When it speaks of your true feelings, I think it should remain untouched as the way you speak. A representation of your thoughts as they came from the heart of you. If I ever have suggestions for you....those I would send to you privately...if you want any from me; I'm here. Take care!

Such a sweet write for your son, I presume. Your heart shines through in this write, Windy. Well done!

[BenightedWhispers]

Very sweet. I like it as is.

[Heartless Breaker]

I like the poem just the way it is. It's a really sweet-sounding goodbye.
