True Heroes

I've known many beautiful people,

And have envied their charm and grace.

I've dreamed that I could too possess

The gift of a lovely face.


But through the years I've discovered

The true meaning that beauty holds.

It's not the outward man that counts,

But the condition of our hearts and souls.


It's rare that we find a person

With beauty within and without.

Such a friend should be admired,

And never carelessly cast about.


She can see the lovely rainbow

Just after the storm ends

When your heart is filled with sorrow

It's her love that heals and mends.


She gives a part of herself away

When she presents you with lovely gifts.

Her love and kindness are boundless

And your spirit she always lifts.


Not only is her heart unselfish,

But her face holds beauty too.

So often I've wished to be like her

In all that I say and do.


We often choose as our hero

A person we'd most like to be.

Through this poem, I hoped to convey

The hero you are to me.
