Heroes

A hero is someone
who gets up every day
and does his job
day after day,
week after week,
No matter what life throws at them.
Some are recognized by others
But most are not.
It doesn't matter to the real heroes.
They just keep doing their jobs
Even if no one notices.
The fake heroes,
 tooting their own horns
are motivated by recognition
Not by the love of doing what is right.
With every little act
A real hero touches the lives of so many,
And yet they may never realize
That they truly are worthy
To be called
HERO.

For my heroes.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Today it was snowfall
under a sky growing blue,
a moment that makes you wonder
where
such a contrast could come from.

Too warm to snow,
I was feeding the birds
with no coat on,
the sparrows and chickadees
impatient.

But there it was.
I poured birdseed,
looked up at the blue sky,
and thought about God's sense of humour.
