My Hero and Heroine

The time you were born People were happy for sparkling son and daughter Your father stood cheering by, But home shoulder high you came. To-day, I never forget, When shoulder-high they brought you home, And set you at your doorstep down, And alone you were left You are my shining star Though you weathered quicker than the rose Silence is what I hurt As it reminds me when earth stopped your ears. As people flocked to gaze the strengthless dead, Courage I gathered to take up your fighting spirit And without gazing I said my last prayer You remain my hero and heroine.
