A long life I’ve lived,
To die as you’d expect.
But from Death’s grip,
I’m forced to resurrect.

I burn all I touch,
Till it is but ash.
If caught in my sights,
You will be thrashed.

My eyes burn red,
The color of my fire.
My nest is home,
To the new empire.

That’s me, the phoenix,
And you have been warned.
Trying to kill me,
I will just be reborn.

&#039;If there is ever a tomorrow that we are not together always remember that your braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. Most importantly always remember that I&#039;ll always be with you.&#039;- C.Robin to Winnie The Pooh
