We’ve gone through the years together <br />And I followed the path you made <br />I’ve watched you overcome the obstacles in the road <br />And I’ve watched how faithful you’ve stayed. <br /> <br />I’ve seen the heartache you’ve had to face <br />And I’ve tried to help without you knowing <br />But even at times when there was nothing I could do <br />I watched you keep on going. <br /> <br />You’ve been such a faithful friend <br />To not only me but others too, <br />And you’ve helped many times <br />With all the things they had to go through. <br /> <br />So thank you for all the good times I’ve had <br />Because you were there to make it fun <br />You brightened up each day I’ve lived <br />And you made all my worries come down to none. <br /> <br />You’re one of the greatest examples I’ve ever known <br />And now the time has come nigh <br />When we will leave all our memories behind <br />And we will both say good-bye. <br /> <br />We will leave behind those memories <br />Of how I walked by you each day <br />And now by your side I will not be <br />But in your shadow I’ll always stay. <br /> <br />Always do right no matter what <br />And from the world, your life will be safe <br />So then in the end you can be called <br />My Hero of the Faith.<br /><br />Valerie Christine Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-hero-of-the-faith/
