The
watchman stands punctilious guard
As his charges rest in sweet repose.
He speaks no word, makes not a sound
To stir the hush as darkness grows.
His mission clear: to still all fear to
Grant them winsome peaceful sleep.
His warry eyes rest on the prize,
Relentless, as he tends his keep.
Woe to those who dare to breach
The borders he is sworn to tend.
No interlopers penetrate
Where he has chosen to defend.
And so must we all watchful be
With steadfast caution, circumspect
Of demons lurking in the dark,
Our one and only task: protect.
Prudence brings its own reward
Rejoicing with exuberance, for
Caution begets peace of mind
To those who practice vigilance.
