Ever since she was a child She was protected Something was always there To keep her safe Like a shield It was invisible When she went out When she was with others While she slept Whatever she needed Came to her When there was hurt and pain She healed When there was peril and danger She was safe It wasn’t of the spirit It was something else But it was always there Covering her Protecting her It would never leave her It would be there till the end Like a shield A force of protection
