Far from where I am going

0 posted 2005-09-13 01:42 AM


Written while listening to the Foo Fighters "Hero" and after reading Juju's article about the little boy in St. Louis.

My Hero

He leads with unimaginable burden
gleaming within the horizon's brush stroke
lighted only by a ruined city scape
holding the future at his sides and in his arms
he is my hero
yet much younger than i
and still more courageous
he is my hero
still just a child
yet more adult than I
the light within darkness of disaster
he burns bright with hope.

-John

John,
Very nicely done.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Sounds like you got yourself a good hero to me. Awesome poem.

Poetry is beauty in words.

Thank you all for the responses. Just to clarify and right my mistake. The poem is about the little boy in Juju's article in the lounge forum. I typed St. Louis instead of Louisiana. I always get those places mixed up even though they are completely different. Anyway, thank you all for stopping by and meeting my hero.
