My Hero
‘Twas he, ‘Twas he,
Who fought for the free,
‘Twas he, ‘Twas he,
Was how a man should be.
He was betrayed by his own,
For them to keep their freedom’s,
He taught honor through his sacrifice,
In a way no one could possibly be shown.
He is my hero, my father, my keeper,
Who gave me breath and gave me life,
I will always miss him,
Time sure has shown,
That a little of my heart that morning left with him,
And now it is not whole.
One day I pray it hurts less,
And my heart begins to rest,
I know you are looking upon me,
I know that you can see,
What you truly mean to me.
I promise I am looking after Mom,
Just like I told you I would,
You would be proud of me Dad,
That I kept my word.
I love you with all of my heart,
But it’s time to let you go,
I have a beautiful family,
Who I wish you would’ve been able to show,
That you are the most honorable man they know.
I need you to release your grasp,
That you hold within me,
Because I need to show my family,
How my love can truly be.
You must let go now Daddy,
Your big girl is ready,
To live the life you gave to me.
Until we meet again Dad,
You will be in my memory.
