| A Poetic Hero If I am old and gray Aged beyond years that should have been allowed me and look back at life I will think these things: I have befriended the wise of earth and observed the children of ages growing and learning the past of our times I have loved and been loved by the lost and the frightened By the souls of the forgotten lovers of the confused that leave I have spoken words of what is to come and promised life to those awaiting darkness and death I have traveled through this earth being found by the needy The hungry, the deceived, the awaiting, the angry, the sad, The happy A friend to many An angel to some A bringer of hope and peace And now as life is at it's end I wonder where I got strength from And I remember you You who listened to me and never had to say a word Yet somehow I felt better knowing your ears were at the Other side of my rantings Who cried with me and understood the workings of my mind When insanity seemed to be fleeting and control Seemed to be all but lost It was you who were my beacon, my lighthouse in the dark storm And helped me find my way back from tempests It was you who was my compass and helped me Find my way through life to my true north You were the one who graced my eyes and ears With songs of mind as you called me your inspiration You were everything and everyone and all this you did for Nothing more than a smile And now as I look back through my life, I know you were a pillar of strength my stronghold, and the one I could turn to at any time And I choose to keep you and take you with me As greatness, comfort and understanding were never found so easily for such a great price as friendship in return Hold my words dear to you They are simple but come straight from the heart Pure of feeling Needing little thought You are an angel and a true friend |
