Hidden Heroes

You will not see them behind the gun
You will not see them when the race is won
You will not see them behind the sword
But you shall see them walking with the Lord

You will not see them in front of a fireworks display
You will not see them when the rest go out to play
You will not see them behind a banner or award
But you shall see them talking to the Lord

You will not find them on a pedestal
You will not find them framed on the wall
But you might find them in the hospital ward
For they tend to their flock as did the Lord

Hidden Heroes their wounds are deep
They stay strong as we may weep
Silent strength as they go toward
Helping to heal as did the Lord.
