Heroes

I have a group of people who are true heroes to me, they don't wear capes or armor so they’re not who you think they’d be, there once was a moment in time when I struggled to find my way, with courage and conviction they stepped in and saved the day, without any ulterior motive they sensed trouble and sprang into action, but instead of swords or magic they used kindness and compassion, it would be easy for them to bail while I was at my most demanding, but in a selfless display of character they showed loyalty and understanding, it didn't matter they lacked in abilities like x-ray vision or flight, when they bring brightness to my days to get me through my darkest nights, you will not see their name in the news saving the world before it ends, so while most won’t see them as heroes I’m just grateful to call them my friends.

Wow! I'm humbled, Nicole. I really appreciate it. To this day, I still thank them every chance I get and do my best to show others the same kindness they showed me all those years ago.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jo. And yes, they are all heroes. Unsung, but heroes all the same.
