Shadow of a Man

 You were like a shadow of a man

Walking with your head bowed

Shuffling your feet as you walked

 

You stood as still as a statue

Head down and eyes closed

Silently saying goodbye

 

You walked side by side

With your brothers in arms

All so different from each other

 

The emotions escaped you

Your eyes welled up

And your bottom lip was trembling

 

These are difficult days

As they signal an end of an era

And an uncertain future for you
