Lost

by Rich   Nov 23, 2005


I'm so tired but cannot sleep
I wake to the sound of running feet
My heart it pounds inside my chest
There is no place to sit, no where to rest

He died while looking at my stare
I held him in my arms and clutched his hair
His blood was warm it was everywhere
He fought to protect me, he didn't care
His life for mine it just isn't fair

My best friend and hero died in my arms
By an enemy who meant to do me harm
He came to my side to help his own
But on that day his honor shown

I honor his life I honor his gift
His name and cause I do lift
His life is just a memory to some
But to me it's more... I was his son
