Unsung Heroes

Unsung Heroes

An unsung hero lurks
in everybody's midst.
From volunteers and helpers,
to women watching kids.

They save lives upon our beaches,
fight fires and save homes.
Cook meals for the needy,
even give stray dogs a bone.

Facing extreme dangers
most would gladly flee.
Spending time with the elderly,
making many cups of tea.

They stand up to life's challenges,
holding their heads high.
Striving for their dreams
and soaring towards the sky.

Giving freely of themselves,
asking no demands.
They greet their community
with open caring hands.

To all the unsung heroes,
achieving without a fuss.
The time has come to say thanks,
for all you do for us.
