Protecting Poem by Phil Soar

Is there something that you feel should need protecting?
Is it maybe something meaningful to you?
Have you missed an opportunity to save it?
Is there something now, you feel that you should do?

Most things in life mean precious little to us
They do not have an impact on our lives
Perhaps we all should see them as a challenge
And protect them like we would our kids, or wives

Just because they seem external to our feelings
And happen far away from all our days
We should not generalize them, and their meanings
But try our best to help in many ways

Protecting all we have is most essential
And gives us all a way to show we care
So take the time to help someone who needs it
Today, Tomorrow, and most anywhere
