Heroes

Stop and thank the heroes,
The ones who take the time,
To make our lives much safer,
Or just to make you smile.
The soldier in a foreign land,
Fighting bravely for our world.
The teacher who reaches out,
To those that need a little more.
Heroes come in many forms,
It matters not their size.
They selflessly give of themselves,
So we have better lives.
A child who sits next to the kid,
Whom others pushed away.
A mom who fixes her daughter’s lunch,
And hugs her every day.
Heroes walk among us,
They can come from anywhere.
The stranger walking down the street,
Could be someone that cares.
Think of the fireman who rescues,
Families from the flames.
Or the store clerk who tells you,
You forgot your bag today.
Right now I thank those people,
The ones that have our backs.
They make our world a better place,
By being the friends we lack.
