Heroes

Heroes Dedicated to the heroes in my life They say everyone has a story to tell But it sure seems like we've been through hell They say everything will be alright But it sure seems hard to make it through the night Heroes are the ones who wear the mask Heroes are the ones who fade into the black Day by day they’ll fight to save you Night by night they’ll always stay true When life is so full of pain And we get held down by every single chain In the end it feels like there is no one to trust Always being left in the dust Heroes are the ones who wear the mask Heroes are the ones who fade into the black Day by day they’ll fight to save you Night by night they’ll always stay true Sometimes it’s hard not to feel left behind Hope seems so far from my mind It’s too easy to cling to the pain of my past It’s hard to believe love could ever last But when I think of the times I spent with you I remember how it felt like I could begin anew I thank God that you are in my life It helps to know I’m not alone in this fight Heroes are the ones who wear the mask Heroes are the ones who fade into the black Day by day they’ll fight to save you Night by night they’ll always stay true They say everyone has a story to tell But it sure seems like we've been through hell They say everything will be alright But it sure seems hard to make it through the night

Hi Zach, I must say - excellent write! This is a beautiful dedication - your take on heroes is on point- I especially like your observations that heroes 'wear a mask'- it is the one distinguishing characteristic of a truly selfless act. Very well penned!

hey thanks! That means a lot! I'm glad that you like it! Heroes are people who give and not expect anything in return. They have helped me through my life and helped me stay strong in my faith. I hope you can have a hero that helps you through life! Don't forget you can be someone's hero as well! God Bless!
