People are saying you don’t have much longer,
Your time is ticking away,
You’re getting sicker as the days go on,
But I refuse to believe them.

In my mind you will always be there,
To see me graduate, get married, and have a family,
The lessons you have taught me will last a lifetime.

I will never forget
Watching the Tigers with you,
Playing dominos on Sunday afternoons,
When you talked about the war you thought you were superman,
I will never forget you.

You’re my hero,
Always will be.
No one will ever take your place.
The day I must face this world alone will be
The hardest of my life.

Just one request?
Please watch over me.
And I promise to make you proud.
