About Someone

Silent Guardian

In the quiet corners, you reside,
A shadow's touch, where secrets hide.
With a presence soft, yet always near,
In your silence, we have no fear.
A shadow's gift, so subtle and true,
In your embrace, the world is new.
Through the veils of night, you move unseen,
In your quiet strength, we find our mean.
With every whisper, a promise made,
In your darkness, we are swayed.
A silent guardian, always there,
In your shadow, we find care.
Through the quiet depths, your presence stays,
In your stillness, we find our ways.
With every moment, your support is clear,
In the heart of the shadow, we have no fear.
