kamen-rider-equine:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I repost this for a good man, a great actor and a wonderful human being. His name was Mako Iwamatsu and he died 6 years ago this week on the 21st. Let us all remember the man who helped bring Iroh to life for all of us. 

Thank you.

PS I know it’s a bit early but why remember the man for a day when you can do a whole week instead?

Leaves from the vine

Falling so slow

Like fragile tiny shells

Drifting in the foam

Little soldier boy

Come marching home

Brave soldier boy

Comes marching home

Those leaves did grow

From branches overgrown

Drifting slowly down

Resting on the loam

Little soldier boy

Taken from home

Forced to fight a war

That’s not his own

Leaves from the vine

Falling so slow

Like fragile tiny shells

Drifting in the foam

Little soldier boy says

“Carry me home”

Sleeping soldier boy Is carried home

TEARS
TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE
