A few days ago, a young man by the name of Scott Delgado passed away. Scott was diagnosed with luekimia and was a great young man, even though I didn't know him, this is for him...
-----------

To the courage I'll never know,
I never thought to feel,
'till I learned about your story,
I have one knee on which to kneel.

To the courage I'll never know,
to ever face the day,
knowing that your life,
will soon pass away.

To the courage we'll never know,
that died in your heart,
to live our life, to the fullest,
in each and every way.

You had that kind of courage,
you knew just what to feel,
you knew your life story,
and told others too.

You were that kind of person,
the ultamite soldier,
to fight an invisible war,
I cannot find anyone bolder.

I really did not know you,
nor did I even care.
But I am a fan,
even though you're not there.
