They’ve  always been there
I’ve never noticed them before
They’ve been ever watchful safeguards always
The stories that could be told
The lessons that could be learned
All from the four beings that have never spoken a word
They keep us safe
When we are in their comfort
They keep us relaxed
When we choose to slumber
They keep us secured
They have never been rewarded never once
Yet their lavishness never sways
Knowing that you’re always there
Thinking about me
Makes my yesterdays wash away
You are the barrier that defends us
You are the one that didn’t get away
You are
