to be the guardian of your peace
that I can do
i’ll hold it carefully in my palms
walking unhurried so I don’t accidentally d
                                                               ­            r
                                                               ­           o
                                                    ­                      p      it                  
i’ll keep it close to my heart
make sure it never slips through
gate                                                     ­                   between                                       ­                          gate

but
what I can’t do
is give you peace i can’t create it can’t make you feel something you refuse to feel
i can only take care of what you already have
