Guardians Of The Night
Author Unknown
Trust in me my friend for I am your comrade. I will protect
you with my last breath When all others have left you And
the loneliness of the night closes in, I will be at your side.
Together we will conquer all obstacles, And search out
those who might wish harm to others. All I ask of you is
compassion, The caring touch of your hands. It is for you
that I will unselfishly give my life And spend my nights
unrested. Although our days together May be marked by
the passing of the seasons Know that each day at your
side is my reward.
My days are measured by The coming and going of your
footsteps. I anticipate them at every opening of the door.
You are the voice of caring when I am ill. The voice of
authority when I've done wrong.
Do not chastise me unduly For I am your right arm, The
sword at your side. I attempt to do only what you bid of
me. I seek only to please you and remain in your favor.
Together you and I shall experience A bond only others
like us will understand When outsiders see us together
Their envy will be measured by their disdain.
I will quietly listen to you And pass no judgement, Nor
will your spoken words be repeated I will remain silent,
Ever vigilant, ever loyal. And when our time together is
done And you move on in the world Remember me with
kind thoughts and tales, For a time we were unbeatable,
Nothing passed among us undetected.
If we should meet again on another street I will gladly take
up your fight, I am a Police Working Dog and together We
are guardians of the night.
