Heroes
God watches over his children,
and every now and then,
He knows things will be better,
if he lends a helping hand.
From among us comes a Hero,
and in time we understand,
we should follow in his footsteps,
for he is no ordinary man.
His light may shine just briefly,
yet he’s never really gone.
For those of us who love him,
his memory will live on.
At first we may not realize,
yet as time goes on we see,
his exemplary life inspires us,
to be all that we can be.
He may have suffered greatly
to implement God’s plan.
Yet then, we must remember,
he was no ordinary man.
Our Hero never compromised,
never wandered from his path.
In our hearts we understand,
he was no ordinary man.
