Real Life Heroes

It's a common affliction Heroes, mostly fiction Egos inflated Media created Not real heroes at all Real life heroes throughout our nation Doing it all without the sensation It's the everyday Mom doing all that she can Raising her family and clings to her man It's the everyday Dad working hard for a living Being very supportive and always forgiving It's the young soldier serving his country each day So the freedoms we have won't be stolen away The young girl with a child living alone The teen who will not accept what he doesn't condone The drinker who battles his addiction each day The abused who had the courage to just walk away These are real life heroes, the ones to admire Not the ones created by the media's fire.
