Unsung Champions

 

You too can be
a hero of heroic deeds...

Doer of brave 
and noble things...

Not as hard as it may seem..

Courage is not only
running into a fire
to save a stranger...

It's not just confined

to physical feats

of daring do..

Or even taking the hits

of unjust consequence

to do what you feel is right

Courage is
staring down your demons..

Big and small alike..

Senseless and irrational..

Now doing your duty
for your family...

Simply being there day and night...

Wearing the yoke of obligations..

Without complaint or gripe..

That's quite the accomplishment..

It takes a lotta guts
to be a responsible adult
