Everyday Heroes

When you reach out to someone,

Volunteer your time to help another,

When you give out without expecting,

Any gratitude or praise,

That you help others because you feel the need,

To help others that are in need,

That you care enough about others to give your time,

Your talents and help,

Without worrying about who it might be looking,

Or who else might know what you are doing,

This makes you an everyday hero,

When you care for your children,

When you give to the school,

When you encourage another person,

When you pray for another,

Without looking for any praise or gratitude,

Without needing any recognition,

To keep doing things to help others,

Even if you are mistreated,

To keep doing things no matter what is going on,

Within your own life,

Without needing a plaque or a speech given,

To do it just because,

You are the everyday hero,

Someone who cares enough for others,

Someone who reaches a helping hand for others,

Without needing praise and gratitude,

Without needing a celebration or a thank you,

You keep giving of yourself,

You keep showing everyone else,

That great acts can come,

That humbleness is important,

And that giving is something we all should do,

No matter who we are,

That there is always something that we can do,

Even if it is something small,

And then we can be an everyday hero,

A hero for someone in need.
