HEROES CRY

HEROES CRY

You say I'm your rock,

your hero you lean on,

the wind under your wings -

a thousand things that make you

what you are -

the hope of your dreams,

your shining star.

You say I'm your force,

your hero that moves you -

your shelter in a storm -

a blanket warm with tenderness,

the light of your night,

but I confess.

Heroes Cry

when a sudden goodby

can darken any day.

Heroes Cry

when a few simple words

have so much to say.

Heroes Cry

when their labor of love

finally comes true.

Your Hero Cries

on bended knee

in thankfulness

for coming home

 to you.
