In Memory of a Hero

I watch you fade,

I feel the tears,

You take my hand,

Say do not fear…

I'm with you still,

I hope you know,

For now it is my time to go…

A wordless scream,

Escapes my lips,

You're falling into Death's firm grip…

I'm crying here,

Yet still you see,

Say I'm your living legacy…

Your blue eyes close,

And as you go,

Your final words,

They touch me so…

Would you say I became a hero?
