Hero

Forever indebted
to my hero
without a cape
an angel without wings
everybody knows your name
 Without super human strength
but stronger than ten men
patience of a saint
mercy equal to none
 The ability to fight the world
and still shine
doing it twenty four hours a day
and never asked for a break
the world upon your shoulders 
and don't shake 
you truly are legend
