Heroes

by @Tasman

I watch with pride as you stand there Just as handsome, same dark hair. Doing what you've watched me do, Before: you'd let me help you too. You talk with strength you learnt from me, You teach, you learn, you serve, you lead. As your hero though, you don't quite see, You four are my greatest legacy. Not the awards, or triumphs or stories. Neither my work or former glories. For as I watch, you still so young You already are so far along. The things I wanted and crafted for, The person that I wasn't before You've become the heroes in my eyes, I guess it shouldn't be surprised. Because you look for something higher You've learnt my greatest skill: desire. It makes me proud because I find, They are just like mine.
