Guardian Blanket

I am your guardian blanket

Hold me close and tuck me in

Watch as I take to your shape

Molded and folded to fit

I am your guardian blanket

Because an angel would screw it up

I am malleable and fit whatever shape you take

I am a blanket; not something supernatural

Would you feel safer with a bright winged beast

Its silly to think you would

So I am your guardian blanket

I keep you warm and put you at ease

You feel safe because of me

I am your guardian blanket

No need to ask

I am your guardian not those winged jokes

Have you ever known one

It's absurd to say yes

But you've seen me and know my touch

So tonight I’ll take care of you

Just hold me close and tuck me in

Because I'm your guardian blanket

Super inventive and imaginative.

Thanks I tried to convey a commentary on the absurdity of believing in the supernatural ie... Guardian angels to keep you safe. Its much more reasonable to believe a blanket will protect you than a biblical fiction.

As a kid I often lost money - which was meant to purchase goods in the store - through being 'absent-minded' (or just being a kid lol) and the thoughts of being beaten for being careless would drive me to pray on my knees to a saint who was supposed to 'find lost things' (St Anthony?).
The money stayed lost, I got beaten and then trusted months later with money again. The faith my parents showed in giving me the money despite my reputation for losing it remind me of people's continued faith in their Guardian Angels despite continuous hardships.
