For Ernie............
As you children look upon your face its all become true,
when the morning sun shine bright and new,
when your love embraces you,
you will know that it was or worth it,
every burning ember,
every smoke filled moment,
every ash covered smile in the end,
every time you went to sleep at night safe,
for dream you ever had come true,
every teaching you every knew,
you came through,
you have fought long an hard,
you have lived a fulfilled life,
an 12 reasons to never forget,
all the things you have done,
for all the people you have touched,
for all the lives you have saved,
cut through the smoke,
douse the flames,
leave behind a legacy in the ashes,
ashes of a man i myself without knowing you would hold in my hands.
You will be remembered through them.
You shall be remembered for them.
You will live forever........always remembered.....[i]
