My hero

When I first met you,

You couldn't walk

But I soon learned

That you could fly

There were hard fought battles

To breathe, to smile;

There were tears and triumphs

There was you, a superhero

You have always had powers

Some we knew

And some we never understood

But now, I know what is true

There are those who enter this world

With a mission we cannot understand

Even more so, we question such a life

But you, you lived

I can't imagine this world without you in it

You were steady, you persevered

But now, you are dancing in a party in the sky

And I sit here missing you

After years of pain and decline

I can find peace knowing you are no longer hurting

But I will think of you always

And miss you forever.
