Hidden Heroes
They stand all around us,
Blending in with the crowd.
An average person on their
way to their average job.
Just a mother,
Carting her kids around.
Just a father,
Kicking off his shoes once he's home from work.
Only a brother,
Throwing a ball to his dog.
Only a sister,
Chatting on the phone with her friend.
But there is something different,
Something... remarkable, extraordinary,
About these average, everyday people.
They are our hidden heroes.
No, they don't wear a cape.
No, they don't have super powers.
Yes, they fight crime.
Yes, they keep us safe.
Some wear fatigues;
Others, a badge.
Some save lives.
Others fight for them.
They are the silent ones,
Ever-ready to help when called upon,
But never revealing themselves otherwise.
Humble heroes,
Hidden heroes,
Our heroes.
