My Hero Poem by Mustapha Muinah

Alone at night
i need light
so that i wont think about the way you fought for your life.
You gasped for breath
after ur enemy's sword pierced your heart.
I know that you want to live on earth
but you cant.
You thought you didnt same me
but you died for me.
Yes! You died for me
you are my hero
at the zero hour.

Every morning
i do mourn your death
i still hear your voice as you said'Run away! you cant convience me! I have made my choice'
i tried to warn you.
Reluctantly i did as you said
but it hurt when i heard you scream out in pain.
Oh! Its a shame
A warrior is gone.

In the afternoon
i asked god to forgive you.
What i have to say is may your soul rest in peace
but my mind is not at ease
after you left me.
I still feel you by my side.
My hero is gone
