Poetic Obituaries: Others called [Marc] Diab a hero

who taught them "when you want something, you have to work for it and you should never give up."

The last page of Diab's large, colourful funeral program was reserved for three poems and songs written by the soldier himself.

"This is the time we fall hard onto shaken knees/Praying and begging the lord for a second chance," he writes in one entitled "The Moment."

"Veins awaken, yet pumping and heart full of tears/My life is so short in time, it only lasts a glance."
