You fought the fight for so many years
Jumped the hurdles and faced your fears
You lived a life to be reviewed with pride
Stayed the course and took it in stride

You tried to veil your strength with humility
But became the ideal illustration of stability
You did so many things I wished I could do
I couldn't hide my admiration for you

When I said you were my hero you laughed a bit
And shook your head, not believing it
You couldn't imagine you'd done anything great
Just played the cards dealt to you by fate

I only revealed what I knew to be true
You inspired me, I looked up to you
I had a question before your time came to go
Just one simple thing I'd always wanted to know

Who could someone of your regard admire
What impressive attributes must you require
So when I asked you who your hero could be
Imagine my surprise when you said it was me
