Hero

Courage Bold Sacrificing everything To save or to help everybody. If I can just help somebody Along this way and keep the faith And keep fighting for a cause Not belonging to me Then and only my hero Will come to me. Not a white shining armor of a Hunk of a man wearing an “S” on His chest flying the “friendly skies” Somewhere to swoop me off my feet--- HELL NO! No way No how! A hero is not just a sport figurehead Or powerful individual Or some guy who saves the day But a hero is A hero is not just a sandwich A hero is being humble Courageous but forever grateful For that’s a hero! Yes, a hero is more than all that But even more To me much more. Much more. A hero is a builder of dreams Dreams that go beyond he sees Now that’s what a hero is to me. October 2003
