"Guardians of the Night"
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
judgment, Nor will your spoken words be
repeated I will remain ever 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.
