Shining Light: Ode to a Hero

A hero stands tall, a beacon of light,

A figure of strength in the darkest of night.

With courage in their heart and fire in their eyes,

They face their fears and never compromise.

A hero knows when to speak and when to act,

They're guided by their values, never swayed by the fact.

Their heart is pure, their intentions are true,

Their will is unbreakable, their spirit anew.

A hero lifts up those who have fallen down,

They mend broken wings and erase every frown.

They lead with kindness, their touch is a balm,

Their love is a fortress, their soul a calm.

A hero inspires, they ignite the spark,

They show us the way, even in the dark.

They teach us to dream, to hope, to believe,

They make us see what we never thought we could achieve.

A hero is not perfect, they too make mistakes,

But they rise from the ashes, and never forsake.

For in their heart burns a flame that cannot be quenched,

A spirit that cannot be broken or drenched.

So let us honor the heroes, who stand for what's right,

Who make the world brighter with their shining light.

For they are the ones who make us believe,

That anything is possible, if we only conceive.
