You were the warrior
You were the fighter
But your battles were fought alone
And in 15 months I should have known
You were the light of the field
You were the calm in the storm
Then came the darkness
And now the field is starless
You were my unspoken brother
You were the level-header leader
Then black tresses fell out
And you could not shout
You were indomitable
You were always reliable
Then came the radiation
And the horrid sensation
You were always there
You protected us so well
Then came the sickness
And that was something I witnessed
You flew so high
You jumped so far
But then came the call
And I knew it was the fall
You fought for 15 months
But it wasn't enough
23 year young
You were our WARRIOR, #8
In loving memory of the Warrior that wore #8
1997 - 2020
Gone too soon, hermano
Que Dios esté contigo ahora y siempre.
