The Shield

The Shield 

Ever since she was a child

She was protected 

Something was always there

To keep her safe

Like a shield 

It was as if a transparent shield covered her

When she went out

When she was with others

While she slept 

Like a shield 

Whatever she needed

Came

When there was hurt and pain

She healed 

When there was peril and danger 

She was safe

Like a shield 

It wasn’t of the spirit

It was something else

But it was always there

Covering her

Protecting her

Like a shield 

It would never leave her

It would be there till the end 

Like a shield 

A force of protection
