A SONG FOR MY GUARDIAN ANGELS


They say I was born for you
Yet to me the reverse is true
You’ve trembled so I grow
Not even by agreement though!

You toil for me I see
Even in the hours so wee
When to many sleep is key
oh, you abstain from joy for me!

Not tonnes I know you have
Yet always willing to starve:
Plenty you deserve
And it's what you've put me in reserve!

I’m this for you will I be
As you build me strong and free
Oh! Your love is like a tree
For even in wars it doesn’t flee!

Dad and mum I pray
That you live to rejoice Someday
For you’re not as eggs in a tray
Though as delicate just as they!

Stephen Obeli
