My Heroines And Heroes

Of talk of celebrity multi millionaires and billionaires i quickly does tire
Since they are not the type of people that i do admire
For my heroines and heroes there is never a street parade
Though to the lives of the marginalized a huge difference they have made

My heroine or hero does not own a big house or a big expensive car
Or be decorated with medals from fighting in a war
When they die The Last Post at their grave site is never played
And sadly from memory they are allowed for to fade

My heroines and heroes are compassionate and kind
And money and fame to them not a priority of mind
On helping the homeless and hungry they plant Karma's good seed
The people i admire are great people indeed

My heroines and heroes help people every day
Without expecting the reward of money for pay
For those doing it tough they feel great sympathy
And i admire them for their compassion and kind and for their empathy.
