You proclaim that you are a Guardian

By the patch you wear

Symbolizing to all that you have faith

That you are worthy

That you trust in yourself

But I wonder

Have you caught

The true meaning

Of the symbol you wear?


Why the background is black

And the letters maroon or blue

Why the shield covers the swords and

The scales hang unbalanced

Why the wings are silver as well as the border?


I tell you this

For this is who we serve

Black is for the dark times abused children live in

Maroon and Blue for the pain they endure at the hands of others

Silver is the lining

A ray of hope

That someday

The abuse will stop


The shield and swords are our tools

A Guardian must battle those whom appose

The scales are unbalanced

And so will remain

Until such time that justice is served

On all those to blame


The archangel wings

Send a message of the highest importance

Valor Truth and Integrity

Is the Guardian way


Now I ponder

Are you a true

Guardian of the Children
