Long silences had quickly settled in the homes of your family
We waited, void and helpless creatures
As our strong support creaked and snapped under pressure
In tears of grieving we all united strong
The toughest gentleman I’ve ever come to know
In disheartened tribute your legacy to continue
I am your tribute
Your follower
Your immortal impact on the earth
My hero don’t leave me
Grandfather don’t leave me
When father broke and shattered in tears
My end of strength to be had
I searched your guidance your voice long gone and yet you still persist
The imprint of your past is too big for me to fill
I am too week I am too small
And by god I will aim for your greatness
I swear on your grave I will not let you die
You’re too great of a legacy to forget
Sleep now knowing the world still has the great trademark of your footprints
You have earned eternal peace
