My Hero (Uncle Austin)


Uncle Austin is my hero

he's a one in a million guy.

Because his love for Aunt Kathryn 

is a love that will never die.

No longer can she speak to him

she may not even know his name.

But he is there by her side 

and he loves her just the same.

Some guys would have walked away 

and carried on with their life.

But she is still his darling 

his soul mate and his wife.

So Uncle Austin you are my hero 

the world could use more men like you.

May God bless and keep you safe 

in everything you do.
