Definition: A person who, or thing that, protects or watches over something.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look,
At this word ‘guard,’ a little bit of hook!
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
“A person
or
thing that protects with all its might!”
Now think about it – what needs a shield?
A precious treasure, or a battlefield.
Could be a soldier strong and bold, you see,
Protecting soldiers for you and me!
Or maybe a watchful dog, so keen and true,
Keeping your house safe, just for you!
Even a gatekeeper, standing tall and grand,
A 'guard' is there to protect this land.
It could be a system, keeping things secure,
Like firewalls online, that’s quite the lure!
So ‘guard’ means watching, keeping safe and sound,
Protecting something precious all around!
Do you have any questions? Let's discuss it now,
To make sure this meaning really knows how!
