The Guardian



Oh tiny angel 
With your radiant light,
Shepherd my flock
To their homes tonight.
Follow them, love them,
Keep them in care
As they wander the world
And I can't be there.
Protect them, guide them,
All safe and sound
As they follow their paths
And come, homeward bound.

    What a beautiful wish for those you love. Oh, that we all would have such angels to protect others we care about.

      They certainly do have their work cut out, my kids have tried their patience more than once or twice.

    It's really a lovely piece--the rhyme is natural and unforced, and the pacing is easygoing and rhythmical as well.

    It's a lovely piece; the rhyme is easy and unforced, and the pacing is languid and easygoing as well.
