Heroes Hiding All Around

There are people everywhere
Showing signs of how they care
It could be an angel hiding
In your life and there providing
Help when its lonely and dark
Somehow you feel a spark
Of love and hope in your life
As you see a ray of light
Shining down, parting the clouds
Following you all around
A kind word spoken so low
With sincerity will show
Someone will soon come along
When everything is going wrong
Pulling away the hurt that's building
Replacing it with joy and filling
Your world with a sense 
Of emotions not so tense
As your days are getting colder
And you need a caring shoulder
To release your tears and sorrow
There is one that you can borrow
Any time day or night
Till you start to feel right
In unexpected way and places
Saviors are heavenly graces
That come to us without greed
In our greatest times of need
Safely wrapping us so gently 
With tenderness unselfishly
Always making a connection
With their sweetness and affection
Doing good without asking
The rewarding satisfaction
They receive inside their hearts
Make them HEROES from the start

You are so right, Robin. There are those that are so willing to give and ask nothing in return. I too, believe that they are heroes. I call these people, street angels. Thanks for sharing this one, my friend..... Robert.
