Your life
Was a light to many
In this world

Your presence
A gift
To everyone in it

Your light burned bright
As you marched
Into the flames
To save
Your little brother
A life to give
A life to take

You were so young
Only 19 years of age
A time of beginnings
Became a time that slipped away

We will never understand
Why you had to be
There on that day
Of the explosion
It took everything from you

You died
Young
You died
Strong
And fought until the end
You died a hero
In a way we know
You'll never regret

Although
There may never come the day
In which we truly understand
Why God took you away
We will pick up
Rise from the ashes
And go on another day
Knowing that's the way
You would have it
I've never seen
Anything so tragic
