Heroes

by | Sep 29, 2019 | Poems

The thing about heroes
Is they get to keep living
After they die
In the minds
And the hearts
Of those they inspire

A hero’s energy
Can be felt
For generations
And for miles around

The heroes never actually die
Their Spirit keeps living
In the minds
And the hearts
Of those they inspire

Some of them
You know
Some of them
You don’t
But all of them inspired someone
That’s why they’re heroes
Heroes inspire others
But they inspire themselves, first
Only once you have inspired yourself
Can you inspire others

The hero inspires himself by
Following dreams and visions
Which provide his road map
And lead him to action
The path he follows
Is that which leads to his dreams
To follow another path
Would make him less than a hero
And he knows that
He chose the harder path
For the better prize at the end
Fulfillment is what he’s after
Satisfaction of a deep desire
To do something good in the world
That’s what makes a hero happy

There are no big heroes
Or small heroes
All heroes are the same
They have a million faces
And a million names
We see them every day
Some we’ve known for years
Others we just met
Others we only know
From the messages they left behind

The great ones leave clues
Like footprints to an enchanted place
Giving a you glimpse and
Showing you the footprints
And if you keep following
The footprints
For long enough
Then eventually you
See what they saw
And you become one of them

If you show someone love today
Then you’re a hero

Things Fall Apart   Things fall apart That were once so beautiful That it hurts to look back But they had to fall apart So something better Could be built in their place And if you focus only on the possibilities Then it is a good thing That things fell apart...

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence They've never won They've never lost They've never cried They've never felt joy Or pain   They've never had a family Or a dog Or a best friend   They've never felt anything Or seen anything Or heard anything They've never tasted the best meal...

Waves of Change

Changes are coming Hard and fast Like giant waves One after another Ready or not Here they come Hold your breath And get ready to go under And just when you come up for air Another one comes Before you're ready And you're back under water again Holding your breath...
