The Unsung Hero
Your memories step
Into the lustrous glass
Whispering
The final journey
Tears and laughter not lost
Though, leaving without goodbyes
For its being etched in the hearts
Of those, who care and love
Forever, your name
Will be remembered
Like a message…
A Reflection
Of bravery
Shown against
The blackness
Of storm, that brought
Countless bodies
Down to ashes of wails
The loved ones
Whom you left behind
Their lowly spirits
Will be strengthened, with your
Martyrdom
For them
You will live in eternity
For you’re the diamonds
Giving them all the time
Your brightness…
Even though
You’ve ascended
Unwillingly, to the height
Of limitless sky
