"The Shadow of Respect"

"The Shadow of Respect"

A Poem by Thepensiveplayer
"

You give others strength when they see you.

"
"As I see you walk, I remember the things you've done"
"and all the details of the battles you've won"
"Your struggles came in a myriad of ways"
"Physical,spiritual,emotional, yet you triumphed always"

"Your spirit gives off a distinct light"
"and it is empowering me to fight"
"Our battles in life never end"
"because there's always something to defend"

"Thank you for glancing with a smile once more"
"as you offer your hand in my war"

Love this piece! Sounds like it's about thanking history for all the good things done, or maybe thanking a friend for always being there right with you. Love the heart warming feeling and good vibes!
