Heroes

there's been a lot of talk about heroes this week let me tell you about heroes the single mom making minimum wage trying to go to school, and keep her babies clothed and fed the school teacher who, upon losing funding, takes his or her own money and buys supplies the young businessman who stops what he's doing, and goes and serves in the soup line the common joes who sit in protest of the oil pipeline ready to be arrested if needed the young girls in Taliban controlled countries who dare to go to school the Mexican family slipping across the border by cover of night, risking it all for a chance, for a chance the human rights activists who speak out knowing they'll be imprisoned, beaten, or worse the neighbor who stops what he's doing and comes over to help when no one else will the drug addict who walks away from it, and starts over step by step the common citizen, of this country or any country, that stands up and says enough is enough right is right, and wrong is wrong these, and many more like them are my heroes!
