Hero

Heroes fall, heroes rise.
Some heroes say goodbye...
And bequeath to tomorrow's hope,
The glowing torch of National Pride.

Tyrants conquer with mortal fright,
But you've inspired lives with your grace.
The golden names engraved in hearts
Are names oblivion cannot erase.

Tonight my hero bids farewell
And all I have is heartfelt Thanks
He's left his footprints in the sand,
The Hero- who lived and strived...
For freedom, in South Africa, our Land.

This is dedicated to Shaun Pollock.
The last two lines have been borrowed from the South African National Anthem.
