Our Hero

 

When our hero leaves us and we really don’t know why.

When we lose someone so great before we can properly say goodbye.

 
A person whose mere presence has deeply enriched our life

For all those many years, conquering adversity and strife.

 

We often have many feelings churning deep inside our heart.

We are confused by these emotions and don’t know where to start.

 

It’s hard to let go; instead we cling to that special memory.

We can’t accept the fact we’re missing someone we thought of so lovingly.

 

We will get through this trying time, and our hearts eventually will mend.

Let’s keep our hero alive in our dreams tonight…and say “So long, old friend”.

 

Dedicated to a great man…. Lou Thesz (1916-2002)
