HERO

Today I am a hero 
She tells me so everyday 
A single mom with nine children 
I didn't know what to say 

We found some common threads 
that hemmed into our lifeline 
Mom Pops and kids 
becoming the family sublime 

There was once a time 
when my being seemed unimportant 
She somehow change all that 
Try to explain it, I can't 

But I know in the morning
what the day has for me to do
Teach Love, unity and kindness
and yes children, God has time for you

My job is mostly to guide by example
and not to interfere
with the things that are not my business
The prayers keep it all clear

In this circumstance it's easy to understand
that when you find your place
the work is not so difficult
and always touched by grace

We come together in Gods time 
and share our special gifts 
To touch each other in the heart 
With a Love that always lifts 

Yes today I am a hero 
with superpowers granted freely 
To teach us one and all 
How to Love each other gently
