You gave yourself
Of time and more
To offer another
A gift of worth
Oh how I melt
Beneath your words
Some may never
Ever know
The heart that beats
Within your chest
Pulses above all the rest
Yet I know
And gladly so
That you are
A true hero
For those who’ve given more than they had to. You’re the heroes.

Awesome poem Teela! I’m glad you are writing more poetry, you are better at it then you think 🙂 Your words about a hero being giving of time, reminds me of the Reagan quote below, and the poem as a whole, in connection with the quote, makes me think of the awesome Foo Fighters song “My Hero”. Thanks for sharing, and for being one of my heroes Tee 🙂

Thank you AoA,
We have quite a few unsung heroes among us. I felt it only fitting to acknowledge them.
I’m about to make a frivolous post. But I need some humor tonight and the one I’m about to post seems to fit the bill.
