Definition: To keep safe; to defend; to guard; to prevent harm coming to.
Alright class, settle down and letโs take a look,
At the word โprotected,โ a concept we must cook!
The dictionary gives us clues so bright,
Let's break it down with all our might.
โTo keep safeโ โ like treasures in a chest,
Away from danger, putting worries to rest.
โTo defendโ โ like a knight upon his steed,
Protecting someone, planting a good deed!
"To guard" โ like watching over something dear,
Shielding it always, banishing all fear.
And finally, โto prevent harm coming to,โ you see,
Keeping someone safe and happy, wild and free!
So, "protected" means to be kept secure and sound,
Safe from trouble that might spin around.
Does that make sense? Any questions for me? Letโs discuss! ๐
