A Protector of All Sorts
A stone that holds a steeple together
A stone to keep it from falling—crumbling on its knees
Cracks now forming
The rock to stay—to hold up the weakest link
To keep the chain together
Rust now runs deep
The protectors of the weak
Never protected themselves
Take many faces
The weak
The old
The young
And
The new
A stone to hold together the weak
To keep all from failing
Now falling from highest towers
A rock to fill a crack
To keep the rest from rotting
No longer a beauty to be seen
The protectors that never cry
Never to feel that they can
Hold on through endless nights
Over and over again
