Hero
Dad, it's been a year today
I never had a chance to give this poem to you when you were in hospital
I just didn't have the guts
So today I will because this is still how I remember you
It's called Hero
Hero
Sitting
next to
your bed
A child
holding
daddy's hand
How come
I feel
so small
facing
something
so big...
Here you are
my hero
I thought
heroes
never die...
But something
is eating you
Slowly
taking over
A heart
that once
was so alive
I looked
into your eyes
Saw that
pain and fear
Who turned
the light off?
Who touched
that switch...
Guess I was
looking
the other way
Here you are
my hero
I thought
you were
invincible
But I watch
you fight
a lost cause
Fate
is sealed
Didn't
you know?
Here I am
holding
your hand
Chasing away
our fears
How come
you look
so small
facing
something
so big...
You will
Always be
My hero
I hope
you find
your victory
soon
And
peace of mind
in the end
I sense you near me; giving me strength to face life and its difficulties
You showed me how to give unconditional love and respect to others
Looking at a picture of you making funny faces, makes me smile because I still feel your love comforting me whenever I feel lonely
