Never to Forget

For That Person Who Showed Me How to Be a Man

By Joshua Lino-da CostaPublished 5 years ago • 1 min read

Upon a shooting star I called

For the man my life belongs

The man that held me when I was small

Who taught me right from wrongs.

The star was asking what I sought

What moment I could relive.

With no second lost I knew within

What moment I would not give

To be with he who made me

Who held me when I was low

He, I saw above me

That cast a bright shadow.

No matter the pain and journey

No matter the mistakes

He’s the one I’ve always known

To guide through all heartaches.

I've been writing for years. Not always great... but it means a lot to me
