Forgotten Hero
By: Ashley Paul

Before my little girl grew up
about two years ago
We were as close as can be
She called me her hero
But later on that year
she met the one for her
and thats when I felt the fear.
She was all grown up now
It happened so fast.
I remember her first breath
but now thats the past
As I sat in my chair
next to my little girl
I pondered to myself
"How in the world?"
"Baby girl", I said
"Do you love him so?"
"With all my heart", she replied
"..he's my hero"
And thats when I cried,
thinking back when she was younger
I used to be the greatest
Until she got his number
Now I am just sitting here
next to this big old tree
Wondering when he will take my girl and go
Because everything is clear to me
I'm her Forgotten hero
