PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You were the one who captured my admiration

With patience you taught me how to handle life's temptations

In your eyes I could only see your innocense

All the pure essence of your heart was always filled with good intent

Whenever I felt left out or alone

You took me in, you gave me a home

You taught me many lessons I would need to survive

And inspired I now realize the things for which I must strive

In your presence I always felt your love and care

And when I faced problems you would always be there

To guide me and advise me with the likeness of a friend

But I had no idea how soon it all would end

You watched me grow from a child into a young man

With the hopes that the value of life I would one day understand

Bringing you family together, teaching them to gain strength from each other

You were loved by so many in our eyes there could be no other

You inspired us to have honor in God and in faith

And your prayers in the night helped us to make it through the day

You knew you were dying, you knew your time was near

But you wanted us to show no worry or have any fear

And because of my respect I gave all to take care of you

But you were in so much pain, the cancer had grew

You taught me many lessons, the last one was death

As I stood by your side as you took your last breath

You taught me that death, we can only accept

Your last words to me I will never forget

To be strong, my own man, not depend on someone else

My time with you was up

I must now care for myself

And my tears were wiped away

And might light began to surface

For I knew that I must shine

For I was a part of your purpose

Like an angel that guided me and helped to mold my life

You now give me hope through each day and through each night.
