My Fighter

You were there
in the beginning.
You taught us all how to love
and cherish every moment
of our gifted lives

Though you are no longer around,
you still are.
You live in me every day
of my life.

I am overly-proud to call
myself a relative of yours.
I've obtained much of my
coherent knowledge because of
your practical, logical, facetious words

I know you're always watching,
so I can freely say
that your presense is not
physically with us, only spiritually and lovingly, deep in our hearts,
never far from our thoughts

Your light will continue to live on in us all because you are
my dreamer,
my guardian angel,
My Fighter
