Unsung Hero

This was no cowardly deed
This was all you had left to you
After fighting so valiantly
for so long
knowing there would always
be another battle
in a war that had no end
Not for you, never for you

How tired you must have been
beating back the darkness
time and again
Knowing that any respite
might be brief
How hopeless it must have been
where you were
Yet you fought on

Not for yourself
did you fight
but for those you loved
You were your own
fisher king
mighty knight, brave
and valiant

I am forever grateful
you fought so long
I am forever humbled
by your strength and
gentle spirit
I am forever changed
because of you
