STRONG AS YOU ARE

I never knew about you
Until I heard of your demise
And all the things that you do
Came to me as a surprise
To you I instantly felt a bond
Of me you probably would have been fond

I hope in my short time here
I will be as strong as you are
For them I'll point out a silver lining
Though I can't see the sun shining

Your life was a source of inspiration
And also a call to reflection
Some things are not prayed away
Try as you can they are here to stay

The shallow ones will sit and judge
What they know nothing about
But honest were your intentions devoid of smudge
An imperfect soul like me without a doubt

I hope in my short time here
I will as strong as you are
For them I'll point out a silver lining
Though I can't see the sun shining

I know my time is borrowed and the day is near
I will still wipe a broken heart's tears
Though my legs hurt i'll walk on the lonely's road ten miles
Wearing on my sad face a happy smile
A listening ear for those scarred with experiences so horrid
Having in mind one person,one name; Jarrid
Hoping that

In my short time here
I will be as strong as you are
For them I'll point out a silver lining
Though I can't see the sun shining
