Close your eyes, my darling - enter fragile sleep
My silent vigil I will keep
Though the world may seek your harm, I will not flee
Your sword and shield my arms will be
I will be your strong defense
When earth's battles here commence
I will heed your call
I will not fall
I am the hero from your tales
Chosen to fight for you, whatever assails
I am no knight, no warrior, I wear no steel
But unlike in your stories, I am real
The first verses and chorus of a song I wrote for my children, titled "Hero." There is nothing in the world I would not do for them ❤
