Thank you for sharing this deeply personal poem. Did you do the artwork, too? So glad that you kept it.
I think what people / society thinks about who is a hero and who is a coward has no merit. It's who we are as children of God that makes us "immortal." Human concepts of immortality are fragile at best and the human conscious memory is faulty and short. Among the internet, the "hero" one day is the bullied "villain" the next. People are too quick to judge so it's best to not trust human judgment, or even our own.

That you were so moved to write about protecting your sister speaks volumes. I'm glad you've saved this poem from 23 years ago and hope you have many more to share with us! Did you consider yourself her guardian angel? A brother's love is very special!

Hello T-G2, Wow! Your poem is filled with high sensory appeal and is thought-provoking. You must be a deep thinker, and it sounds as if your inner-self was being challenged at the time. Of special note:
As a coward i could live and soon be forgotten.
As a hero i could die and become IMMORTAL!
(The yin and yang of life, but choosing Life is always best. My daughter has a saying...don't make a long-term decision for a short-term problem. Who says that kids can't be the teacher?!)
Your artwork is excellent. If this was hand sketched and is still on plain paper, just a suggestion, if you can get it printed onto glossy copy paper at Walgreen's, CVS, etc., you'll be amazed how it will just pop and be better preserved.)
Well done. This would have made a great entry into Feedlefumps contest. I'm sure that you sister loved this. LateBloomer

First I must say I love the image... I am an artist... Did you paint this?
However, your words all though quite lovely, need a bit of editing
even your authors notes need a bit of help.
I done this piece 23 years ago from a federal prison for my baby sisters' birthday.
No one has ever seen it really until now...it's me watching over her. Enjoy.
The word done is incorrect.. it should read did...
I think this could be a great poem with a bit of good editing,

Your note is striking and really took me aback. Very impressive piece of writing considering the circumstances it was written in. Thank you for sharing this.

Choices, choices, choices are always choices in life, this is Very well written on such a talent. You have your word choices are unique to you and very special indeed. It seems any choices we make are, in fact frozen calls. Either way, nothing is absolute, That would make things much too easy. Don't you think I mean said that I find no issues with grammar or aesthetics. This is very well done and a fine submission best of luck to you!

Comment from royowen
You've done a great job with this excellent poem. I can remember someone once saying that their religion was being a "devout coward", "A hero dies but once, but a coward dies a thousand times. Beautifully written blessings Roy
Suggestion: become quite (rotten) immortal.

Excellent poem for your sister's birthday. It's heartfelt and honest. We all want to be remembered positively after we die. I hope my children know how mush I loved them.

Your artistic creation is breathtaking. How you have captured the raw emotions and vulnerability of the subject is genuinely remarkable. I found myself lost in thought, reflecting on my own experiences that resonate with the feelings you have portrayed. Your skill in conveying such profound emotions through your art and prose is truly awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing this magnificent piece.
Best Regards.

This was a very good poem with a poignant message. The roles should be reversed with the coward dying and the hero living and enjoying acclaim. Unfortunately, that's not always the way of this world.
