The Guardian You Sent Me

Hey, Roxy girl…

I still think about you every day.

There’s someone down here now…

His name is Nox.

And I swear he’s got a piece of your heart.

I was just a little boy with a heavy heart,

You were my sunshine when life fell apart.

A female pit bull with a soul made of gold,

You kept me warm when the world turned cold.

When I felt alone, you were always near,

Licking my face, chasing away my fears.

You never spoke, but you’d understand,

My guardian angel before I was a man.

That night on the laundry room floor,

I prayed we’d have a thousand nights more.

Slept beside you, wouldn’t leave you alone,

You’d always been my safe place, my home.

Oh, Roxy, I hope you see me now,

I’m still standing, still making you proud.

You gave me strength when I couldn’t be strong,

Your love’s been carrying me all along.

Now there’s four paws guarding my door,

A boy named Nox with a heart like yours.

You’re my angel watching from above,

He’s my guardian here, carrying your love.

Nox is a Mountain Cur, loyal and brave,

Protecting my family every single day.

He watches the house, stays close to my side,

Like you’re guiding him from the other side.

He’s got that look when I’m feeling low,

Like he sees all the pain I don’t show.

When my family’s sleeping, he’s standing guard,

Another loyal soul healing my scars.

Sometimes I wonder if you sent him to me,

To protect the man you knew I’d be.

Roxy, you protected the child I used to be,

Nox protects the man and my family.

You stayed with me through my darkest nights,

Now he guards our home beneath those lights.

I’ll never forget that laundry room floor,

Before your heart stopped, I wished for more.

I stayed by your side till the morning came,

And losing you changed me, but your love remained.

Run free, Roxy, across heaven’s skies,

I see your love reflected in Nox’s eyes.

One angel above, one guardian below,

Two loyal hearts that I’ll always know.

When my family laughs, when my little boy smiles,

I know you’re watching across heaven’s miles.

Nox keeps us safe while you light the way,

Together you’re protecting us every day.

Roxy, you taught me unconditional love.

Nox reminds me that love never dies.

You protected my childhood…

He’s protecting my future.

Rest easy, sweet girl.

I’ve got Nox now…

But I’ll always have you. 🐾❤️
