Hero's Heartstrings

Tears of joy come falling down when they make the baseball team the first homerun. the final out. The honor roll. The Senior Choir. The young artist association. The Jump team. Or any other minor or major accomplishment. Pride fills us We are their hero and they are ours. So short lived is our glory. For the hero's become the coaches the team mates the teachers the friends the neighbors the lovers and sometimes Uncle Sam. But to have held a hero's place for only a moment when no one could be greater in their eyes than we so very briefly are makes all the other tears worth the pain they leave as they too must fall. For every heart that has been broken can be mended with love. And a true hero has a heart that has been quilted with many color's of heartstrings!
