Every Once in a While



Every once in a while,

I see through the air

I see through the veil 

This world pulled over my eyes


When I see through

I see you

Your wings and your smile

Your emerald eyes


Every once in a while

I see you in your armor

Ready to go toe to toe

With any threat

Or any foe


My hero, my brother

Every once in awhile

I need to see you

I need to know that you

Are always there


Just on the other side of the veil

On the other side of the air

My guardian, my sword, and my shield


Every once in awhile

I see how you are always in the field

This war that you fight

Has occasionally spilled

Into my dreams 


And into my life


You are the champion of my mind

The guardian of my spirit

The guide when I'm lost

The joyful one when I'm found again


My dearest friend and brother

Every once in awhile

 I see you

I feel you

I hear you

I know that you

Are always at my side


Ready to lay the sword

To any darkness I may find


Every once in awhile

I remind myself how lucky

I am that God assigned you to me


I'll love you forever,

Even as that forever grows unimaginably long.
