Tears For A Hero

(please don't drink and drive)

T ears for a hero

E cho in the wind

A kind and gentle creature

R eached out his hands

S aved a little boy's life

 

F aithful friend you were in deed

O pened your arms and shielded him from danger

R escued him as you faced your own death

 

A heroes shoes you wore, yes

 

H eaven must have needed you as you took your final breath it

E choed in the wind

R iver of tears I shed for you, my darling son

O n a long lonely highway as two cars collided, the angels called you home

very deep, and gives you chills.
I would reword "Tears for a hero Echoes in the wind"
to Tears for a hero that, Echo in the wind
and
"Heaven must have needed you as you took your final breath
Echoes in the wind"
to
Heaven must have needed you,
as you took your final breath it Echoed in the wind
but your subject and power is astonishing, great write.

Your son sounds like an extraordinary man. And sons, generally, only become extraordinary as a result of one person's influence, their mothers! His funal act was an amazing tribute to his life, and to you. Be proud, and know that he is with his Father. Beautiful poem.

This is very beautiful. A wonderful tribute to a lost son. It sends its message without sounding like a PSA. Very well written! Thank you for sharing.
