I grew up
knowing you were there
it had made me strong
I grew up
knowing you had died
it made me live my life to the fullest
I grew up
trying to make myself the strongest I could be for you
just hoping i would go through
I grew up
knowing you were there for me
loving that you still cared
even if you hated me in the end
then loved me when ou died
I grew up
in my teens right now
crying over you still
still loving and missing you
I grew up
in my middle ages
with my happiness that you were safe
that you were the one watching over me and my new family
I grew up
old and crippled
with my husband at my side
and grandkids and kids on my other
and you up above
I grew up
now dead
and heading towards you
you had made me this
I grew up
strong
brave
and proud
because of you my old friend
