Protector

I hear the crying
Getting louder and
The shouting booming
like thunder. I wonder why
they're fighting I'll go see what's
the matter. See the mother on the
ground and the father hovering over her,
a two month old crying in its crib.
He raises his hand in an attempt to strike,
but something catches his eye. A giant soldier
with wings of gold and eyes of bright blue,
covers the mother and child. He points his
sword towards the father and glares at him with
sternness as a warning, with that he opened his
golden wings and flew towards the heavens.
