You went against the odds.
You were so bold and strong.
They said that you had hours left.
You tried to prove them wrong.

You didn't go without a fight
I saw that in your eyes.
In this game we all call life
I'd say you won first prize.

By your bed I knelt
And held your shaking hand.
I whispered, "If you can't keep fighting,
Trust me, I'll understand."

At that you looked up to me
And put your hand upon my face.
Then you closed your eyes and journeyed
Towards the other place.

As you closed your eyes I said
That I'd miss you very much.
You told me more than words could say
By the love in that last touch.
