THE DEFENDER

Mischievous are his eyes at times.

Laughter is what he often finds.

His eyes long to tell a story.

And at times for him we worry.

 

His heart is young and tender.

Protective, he is the defender!

Often from him, we gain strength

From his honesty that is quite frank.

 

A soul of compassion, he has within;

A helping hand he would gladly lend.

Pride and confidence, in truth it shines,

-Within his loving eyes for all to find.
