STANDING GUARD

The cobbled paths, steep walls,
dark alleys today still stands.
Testimony to the battles, wars 
by the marching bands.

The nightime watch, daytime stress,
all efforts to halt the enemy's race.
Constant gaze as far as eye sees,
from the tower till beyond the trees.

Standing sharp with sword and spear,
ready to defend from front or rear.
Kings rose and Kings did fall,
the valour of the guard still stands tall.
