Protected Next

Protected next without exception,
Will be the respect given and shown...
To established friendships.
And the avoidance to neglect,
Relatives and those connected relationships.

Protected next without exception,
Comes to us a standard to prioritize...
Health and happiness.
To realize as our most prized possessions.
And begin to assess our lives as blessings given.
