Lyrical Poetry

Quiet Heroes

The world is full of quiet heroes who never seek the praise

They're always back off in the shadows

They let us have the limelight days

For this you're the one that I look up to

Because of you I'm free

You set an example I could follow

You helped me see my destiny

So even though my thanks don't show

Unnoticed you will never go

I need to say I love you so

You're my hero

I've had my share of broken dreams

But you said I could win

You gave me the chance I always needed to start my dreams again

You took time to teach and tutor and show me rules to rise

You changed my fears to glory tears

You're an angel in disguise

I wouldn't be where I am today, I've won my share of times

Unless you coached me through the maze and pushed me on the hardest climbs

It's just your style, the extra mile, no glory must be tough

You let me have the accolades

A smile, you said, was just enough
