I remember that day,
Long ago,
Yet not so far away.
I remember that look,
So close,
But further than it should.
I remember those words,
So strong,
Yet from a feeble heart.
I remember those tears,
So warm,
But beneath runs cold blood.
I remember my decision,
I remember my stand,
That as long as I’m around,
I will be the man.
I will take his place,
I will answer the call,
Regardless the trials,
I will stand tall.
I will not run away,
I will not choose to hide,
I remember making this promise,
On the day he chose to die.
I still remember that day.
