They Protect Me – Sunday 15th April 2001

They Protect Me

they protect me
by hand and sight
through dark and light
from pillow till day
from silence and pray

they protect me
from life and glove
from friend and foe
and alien touch

they protect me
they guide me down the stream
set signposts
in the lands where i dream
they lead from a distance
yet they are always near

they protect me
through hope and fear
through smile and tear
they protect me
