Poetry: Protect

A poem by Emily Funke

I will fight for you 

I will never lose for you

You only deserve victory

You can’t fight for yourself

That’s why I’m here 

I will protect you always 

Your mother wanted that 

I’m sure you will miss her someday 

But right now you don’t remember her

But I will be here

I won’t leave you and I won’t let anyone take you

You were special to her and now me

I will always care for you until you don’t need me 

But I hope that day never comes
