Heroes are Everyday Folks

If you have a hero it may not be anyone else's hero
Your hero may be a parent, another relative, a teacher,
   a mentor, a friend, a co-worker, an activist, etc.
No matter who you consider a hero you will agree why
  heroes are the same to everyone
A hero inspires us to be better than we are
A hero makes us believe in the impossible
A hero teaches us to be  courageous when we think we can't
A hero keeps us believing that we can be a hero to someone
If we only believe we can do a few things to claim hero
  status -it may only be to a small person who looks at
  us in love
I'm sure I have heroes who don't claim such status but their
  life has proven to be hero status in my eyes
Some heroes to me are older and some are younger
Some of my heroes know who they are and discount the title
Some of my heroes may never know I claim them as such
Those heroes are the ones who others also claim as their hero
