A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes
My Fallen Hero
by Gypsy Blue Rose
my fallen hero
gone far away where wine and bread no longer satiate over the clouds, days, and nights I miss him now and then but a river of tears separate our souls he was my lifesaver I hung on to Dad until I learned to swim
he was my dancing partner I stood tippy toes on his shoes scared to death
he held my bike on my first ride and when he let go I rode fearlessly "Look, Daddy, I am flying!"
he was my hero til mom died his new wife made him choose between her or me and he chose her
at 15 years old I had no home so I crossed the sea far far far away when I called him at night all I could do was cry till he asked me to stop calling to make her happy after all these years I still need him at times but his spirit soars over ... mountains blue oceans green lands the moon and stars he is gone my fallen hero
