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.
