Everyday Heroes
Every day heroes are like you and me.
We meet them at work, in the local shop, on the
busy street and everywhere.
They come in all shapes and sizes; we only have
to look all around us.
Every day heroes have attitude.
They maybe the stranger, who rescues a teenager
from a wrecked car,
Or the next-door neighbour fighting a battle
with cancer,
Or the lady who lives down the road; struggling
to relearn, after severe brain injury.
They have a ready smile in spite of their pain.
They never complain and always think positively.
They have great vision, no handicap; no obstacle
can keep them from pursuing their dreams.
They never give up and do not let us give up
either.
They never take relationships for granted.
They care a lot about other people in the
community.
They always say, " I know what you are
going through."
They have an indomitable spirit and great
strength.
They have a lot of faith and courage.
They take delight in performing small acts of
kindness rather than in grand intentions.
They look for the best and give the best, they
have.
They inspire us to carry on when things go wrong
And teach us how to sing even when the sky turns
grey.
They teach us a lot about living and how to
appreciate the gift of life.
And they see a beginning in every end.
Every day heroes are people who touch our lives
And leave footprints on our hearts to change our
lives forever.
