A Breath
Dedicated to my dear friend Wallace "Duffy" Duffin

When the chilled wind blows across my face
and the early sun rushes to rest in the sky
I think of your words of encouragement
when I needed them most
not my dad,
but you were close.
Rest now
God knows you've seen enough pain
Rest now
I just wish I could find the words to explain
You are me.
Warriors fall and heroes fade
still your memory stays
in a laugh, a hug, a glance, a breath
eagles soar even in death
I'll hold it down for you
I do as we dreamed I would
still I wish you could
be here with me
live through me
see through me
You are me.
Warriors fall and heroes fade
Still your memory stays
in a laugh, a hug, a glance, a breath
eagles soar even in death
I haven't forgotten a word
I haven't misplaced a thought
I carry your sense of pride in
every stride,
I hold my head high
and salute you in the sky.
I've got no reason to ask why
I know time comes for us all
and when that time is mine
when death makes its call...
we'll meet again,
share a hug,
a laugh,
a glance
a...
breath
for eternity
you are me.
