Hidden Heroes

09/24/2013 Sports figures and movie stars Singing groups and trips to mars Make everyone scream and shout But heroes are not all about Making money from their fame Of acting, singing, signing names People who act from their heart Every morning when they start To spread kindness, love and cheer Showing the world that they care Acting so unselfishly Being there for you and me Singing out with all their might I will stand and always fight For the helpless, poor and weak Justice they will always seek Signing their names on petitions Making sure that their intention Never fails to help strangers And a world that’s full of dangers Turn into a better place With a smile on their face So next time you want to praise A celebrity on stage Please remember next to you There might be a hero too

True, so true, we are so hypnotized with the athletes and pop stars of this world, that we tend to lean off reality and forget who the real heros are. The Police, the firefighters, the doctors, nurses, soldiers, and even teachers! We never see the real heros in the midst of our vision, and society has brainwashed us to say these pop stars and politicians are the real heros. great write Robin! True words have been sprung like no other! Nice write! xoxo :) hugs and kisses all around!

truer words were never spoke, our sporty heros are quite a joke, on society ...they usually fail as role models too:}...love your touching poetry here...

I had to re read what you read. It's nice to revisit the past. Btw I still feel the same way. But this piece of yours says alot. And in much the same way I would have said it myself, poetically.
