A Constant Vigil

Always watching, standing guard

Against the common criminal

Whose goal it is to pilfer hearts

And use them for a time,

Then run away with disillusioned

Disappointment when they find

Your true love lingers for another

As you fall victim to their crime.

Looking out beyond the gates

With eyes alert and jaw set tight,

I stay my keep and search horizons

From my station high above

Making every effort in

The maelstrom of living

To keep a constant vigil

From the watchtower of love.
