Hero Poem by Tessa Eichhorst

Eight years ago I saw you frail
and uncomfortable, sleeping and
unattentive. I've never seen my hero
this way.

All my life you were always there for me.
Standing tall next to me, pushing me to
succeed. Seeing you helpless and clinging
to our love made me notice you fight
till the end. Your undying faith and love for
Christ comforted us all.

A hero to me you will always be. A fighter,
grandfather, family man, christian, and friend.
Although you're now living with Christ you're
always in my life. I love you my hero and
through family your legacy goes on.
