You Are And Always will Be...



POETRY FRIDAY









You Are And Always will Be...


The person I admire,
So strong, So brave.
When I was little
you were my-
superman. You were so heroic
you saved me.

Everything you did
made me love you more and more.
You are the most kindest
giving man I know.
So strong, So brave.
When the neighbors house
went up in flames.
Everyone saw you running
towards the house with a hose.
But I, I looked up and saw
saw a hero risking his life for a family
he barely knew.
He was my hero.

But you passed the boundaries
of bravery and stupidity.
Bravery is when you saved
the family.
Stupidity is what you did recently
that could've cost you your life.

I know you didn't want help,
but you needed it.
You never have to mask
your pain with bravery for me.
But now, now it's fatal.

I can't imagine my superman
on a hospital bed...dying.
It's unreal, untruthful, unimaginable.

So strong, So brave
you survived the surgery.
But the superman I knew
that ran at six A.M.,
down a mountain,
selling and feeding animals, is
still in you, yes,
but now,
now you aren't running down the mountain,
instead you're rolling down
on your wheel chair.
