A hero fell and I watched him go Nothing I could do Seeing it in his eyes Hearing it in his voice Holding his hand as he held mine I tried to be strong and hold him But it was not to be He was being called by someone stronger than I was Yelling and screaming that this was not the day It was not the time I had so many things to ask him So much to learn Telling the others that he was going away Hearing their voices in disbelief Feeling their pain and shock Attempting to calm them even though I was not I did get to talk to my hero before he left Tell him things I needed to tell him Listening to things he wanted to tell me Knowing the love was deep and strong Grateful for being with him when he had to go Some can not understand that They don’t need to Just me and my hero know it I find my hero lots of time At the same place he had to leave from I can feel him watching me Although I can’t seem to see him Not sure I want to see him watching me Then I would want him to come back And I know that is not possible So the peace of feeling him is enough Enough to remind me of the love The honor and courage he taught me The respect he showed me, even when disagreeing The lessons he showed me I hope I never forget I just hope he hears me now Hears me telling him he was my hero That is the only thing I forgot to say d:-)p94
Reason for writing:
The inspiration for this came from the fact I was blessed enough to be with my "hero" when he passed away and his spirit will always be part of me.
