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.
