Today he draws a breath
Wonders why he does
Reflected images he
Wonders if it ever was.
From the rhythm of his own heart beating
His assurance to trust.
He has reached out his love to them
He’s always searching for the truth.
From full color animation
To black and white, cold and aloof
But today, that does not matter
There’s no need for proof.
New reason for being.
Seeing isn’t always believing
And his thoughts flow
To his heroes.
From the heat of the sun to the pouring rain
Their medicine is his pain.
In his blood it flows
Because of his heroes.
To dream of diamonds
Only to wake in their dust
Consumed and wanting it all
Consumed by lust
It wears on the beauty inside
Its as sleepless as rust
To be there, to listen and to love,
An offering of what’s right.
Your foundation’s strong when your walls
Come crashing down.
How do you put up a fight?
You are all the colors of the rainbow,
You’re a complete ray of light.
In the middle of the night
With your light on
How I pray that you are well.
All this time working the fields,
You nursed and healed us.
You let us think for ourselves.
I was thinking that I never told you
You are my heroes.
So, here’s to you, my heroes,
I love you.
