You Are My Hero

"You Are My Hero"

You lead by your example
You find strength where there was none
You stand by all that you believe
And you stay when most would run

You march to your own drummer
And you're faithful to your heart
You've made the hard decisions
That would tear the rest of us apart

You could've crumbled from the pressure
When life broke your heart in two
Instead you fought with all your might
Until your skies returned to blue

A modest soul you'll always have
Without your accolades in tow
You claim you're nothing special
But you're wrong; you are my hero

You struggle like we all do
Through this experience called life
Yet your grace and your tenacity
Inspire me to rise above the strife

Like a Phoenix you have risen
From the ashes and the flames
You've stood up even when
You had to take the blame

Your life has not been easy
But somehow you've made it through
You'll always be my hero
And I'm awfully proud of you
