Courage
Bold
Sacrificing everything
To save or to help everybody.
If I can just help somebody
Along this way and keep the faith
And keep fighting for a cause
Not belonging to me
Then and only my hero
Will come to me.
Not a white shining armor of a
Hunk of a man wearing an “S” on
His chest flying the “friendly skies”
Somewhere to swoop me off my feet—
HELL NO! No way No how!
A hero is not just a sport figurehead
Or powerful individual
Or some guy who saves the day
But a hero is
A hero is not just a sandwich

A hero is being humble
Courageous but forever grateful
For that’s a hero!
Yes, a hero is more than all that
But even more
To me much more.
Mucho more.
A hero is a builder of dreams
Dreams that go beyond he sees
Now that’s what a hero is to me.
