The Fire You Left

You may be gone from this world, they say, But in every breath, you still find your way. Each battle I fight, each truth I defend, Feels like a message your soul still sends. Heroes like you, they never die, You live in the stars that light my sky. You were my guide, my pride, my flame, And life without you is never the same. You gave your life for the nation’s call, Yet left your courage within me all. In my blood, your bravery flows, In my heart, your wisdom grows. They say time heals, but I never let it, For the wound of love — I won’t forget it. Missing you keeps your love alive, It’s the reason I continue to strive. You're the sun that warms my face, The wind that holds me in embrace. Your shadow walks with me each mile, Your strength, my armor all the while. The world salutes a warrior lost, But I know well what love had cost. Your lessons live in what I choose, In every win, in every bruise. So when I fall or when I fly, I look for you in every sky. I’m not just your child — I’m your story, Living each day to earn your glory.
