A good man you were,
Devoted father,
Loyal friend,
Brought down by a bitter blow
That was not yours to bear
You died a death not your own
For reasons you did not understand
By a face stolen to cause you pause
So unjustifiably you passed
Leaving business unfinished in your wake
A sweet girl you were,
Affectionate daughter,
Loyal friend,
Brought down by a bitter blow
That was not yours to bear
You died a death not your own
For reasons you did not understand
By a man you trusted with your life
So unjustifiably you passed
Leaving a life incomplete in your wake
A dear boy you were,
Compassionate warrior,
Loyal friend,
Brought down by a bitter blow
That was not yours to bear
You died a death not your own
For reasons you did not understand
By a skilled opponent whose hand was unwilling
So unjustifiably you passed
Leaving a dream unrealized in your wake
And I witnessed your deaths,
Shedding tears of regret like gently fallen rain
Yes, I wept deeply for your passing
Though you are but mere characters on a screen,
Lines spread across a page,
I shed tears for your deaths so sudden, too soon
Because I can spare none for my own.
