Your study of philosophy really shines through in this then... the idea is such brilliant take on the nature of guardian angels (and in a way, god) that both expands it and brings it to an intimate human level. The stuff which the very best of poetry is made of imo. Agree about the final couplet: the question you began the poem with was just a little more fascinating and more contemplative, a brilliant vein to take. This is pretty much golden throughout though
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
