A Tribute to Heroes

There are many people that we see,
But very few we want to be.
The things they say,
We want it to be that way.
To follow in their steps,
And to be their small reps,
Of what they stood for and honored.

When they leave,
Our heart breaks on our sleeve.
Just one more hug,
Shared with a gentle tug.
We have no smiles on that day,
And I would give all pay,
To see them again.

After they are gone,
When all seems to be going wrong,
The peace in our mind,
Is oh, so hard to find;
It has run far away,
To be found another day,
A year and a half later.

I love them so,
As long as they know-
I tribute them now,
In the small way I know how,
They were never my zeroes,
Because they were born to be my heroes.
God bless Colin and Andre'a, Amen.

Colin and Andre'a left this morning to go on their world adventure. I hope they grow in love with each other, and enjoy the break from their mother. I guess I can still rhyme, but maybe not next time.
