PROTECT ME:

Protect me from this world, my old dear love,

Enfold me in your arms like the wings of a dove,

I don´t want your hard-earned wads of money,

I don´t want your golden, sweet & exotic honey,

I don´t taste nectar in your diamonds & jewels,

Just protect me from this world, so cold & cruel.

Hide me from the icy floes of people´s acid tongues,

By humming lullabies of our childhood, sweetly sung,

Protect me from those monsters of the deepest night,

 Protect my delicate, vulnerable & frightened plight,

Keep me warm & safe in the murky, dark, frosty morns,

And keep me from society´s nasty, evil & fickle horns.

Please protect me & love me, my sweet dear man,

Be my caring shepherd & I´ll be your loving lamb,

Let those folk around us, mockingly & slyly smile,

And under your soft wing, I´ll gladly walk life´s mile,

Let me hear upon your tongue, my own small name,

And in asking for your protection, I feel no shame.
