Unsung Heroes

The fate of morning is brewing 
By the grace of their mighty brain 
For their wisdom is a blessing 
Even though they ache in pain 

Sleepless nights are often calling 
They can't refuse the call of dawn 
The grace of their charm could be falling 
But they must cause the seeds to spawn 

Unsung heroes, they must be 
They are as great as a starlight 
They turn the wheels of destiny 
So tomorrow can be bright 

Like a flower, frail and tender 
They must be poured with care and esteem  
For if they're gone, the world will wander 
Like a child caught in swirling stream

I like your poem, Roger, but don't forget that many men also fit this description. They, too, "turn(s) the wheel(s) of destiny."
