Will, she ever be missed,

if she left to the land

beyond what we can see?

She was broken,

beyond repair.

Yet the fire in her soul,

burnt brighter,

day by day.

Will, he ever be missed,

if he left to the land

he calls paradise?

He was told,

he will be nothing,

when he is old.

Yet the lion within him

growled louder,

day by day.

Will, they ever be missed,

if they left without leaving

a mark in this world?

They were pushed down,

with every step they took.

Yet they got up,

and stood taller 

each and every time.

Will, they ever be missed,

if the left without showing

the world, their will of fire?

Their eyes shone bright.

Their souls burnt wild.

They never gave up,

no matter what.

Will, they ever be missed,

if they left without setting

ablaze the very path they walked on?
