The Great Conversation

What Makes a Hero?

Suffering breeds heroes,
Their strength is a lesson to all; and,
All benefit from that experience.
A hero learns to empathize and,
Show compassion for others going through difficult times.
Nothing will stand in their way,
They show perseverance in the face of adversity.
A hero achieves the impossible.
Rises up and does what is right in the worst of all their circumstances.
You can trust what you tell them,
It will not go further.
A hero is not boastful,
But is often modest about their accomplishments.
My hero is strong, dependable, humble, and a good listener;
Pointing out the positives, never the negatives
A hero makes me feel like a hero;
A hero will always live within us and others.
