(Spoilers for all of the books, but mainly The Apprentice's Quest.)
This poem is about Sandstorm because I think she always gets pushed aside. Seriously, she's more than just Firestar's love interest!
For extra sad points imagine she's telling Alderpaw this as she's dying.
I remember,
Times when I could fight,
Anything that came near,
I cannot do that anymore,
My bones are brittle,
My body is weak,
I tell people I am not,
I remember,
When my love and I,
Were just children,
I teased him,
For his heritage,
I did not know,
That heritage doesn't matter,
I remember,
When friends turned to enemies,
And trust did not exist,
I remember,
When lives were lost,
And scars were made,
And new death,
Was all around us,
I remember,
When my love was young,
And saved us all,
He was always a peacemaker,
He could unite the world,
With a single word,
I remember,
When old secrets were uncovered,
And new secrets were made,
I remember,
When my daughters were born,
I named them after friends,
And memories already lost to history,
I remember,
When I went on the journey of a new generation,
I made new friends,
I lost old ones,
I remember,
Fighting for my life,
For the second time,
I fought,
Against,
And with,
Old friends,
And enemies,
I never even knew I had,
I remember,
The death of my love,
Fighting to protect,
Everything,
I remember,
When my bones first started to hurt,
When I began to realize my friends looked old,
When I remembered the life I had lived,
I remember,
Going on one last journey,
And seeing the face of my love,
At the end.
