Hero By Jennifer Plouffe¢
I see your face,
Lines beyond your years looking aback,
The light shows your features,
Bold and strong.
A gallant smile stairs back at me.
All you have seen and done,
You're the hero we all needed.
Things are sure to change; because of you.
Knowing, seeing all you've done,
Earning the utmost, prestigious life you have forgotten.
A life you put behind, years before.
A life you put behind, for the rest of us.
Not giving yourself another choice,
Moving on to save us, to save yourself.
Hero.
Saving those in need,
Giving up your own,
Selfless, brave, courageous.
The hero lies in you.
The one who gave so much; for so little.
The one who walks away at the end of the day, knowing everyone is safe
The one who walks away, knowing good will always prevail.
The only hero we've known.
The only hero we've ever needed.
The only one we've ever wanted.
All you've given up, all you've forgotten,
We remember, we'll never forget.
You saved us; changed us.
Our hero.
