You're One of My Heroes

Heroes aren't always popular   nor well-received by the powers that be. Heroes aren't always recognized   nor honored by their community. Our heroes stand for something   the rest of us may never attain, And our heroes hold the secret   for those things we want to gain. Being a hero isn't easy   because it takes such a sacrifice. Heroes give of themselves and give of themselves   so we can live in a world that's nice. Heroes don't always receive the honors   they're entitled to for their deeds. The rest of us owe them our comforts,   because they take care of our needs. No...real heroes aren't always recognized   nor do they receive the acclaim For everyday tasks they perform at length   in anonymity -- not expecting any fame. Yes, heroes may sometimes be unsung   and have flags that are never unfurled. True heroes are the ones among us   who make a difference and change our world. Real heroes are people who do their job   and hold for whatever's right. Real heroes are people like you,   who stand and won't back down from a fight. Thanks for being who you are...   ...and setting examples for the rest of us.                       mNovember '99 Sometimes, we are lucky enough to work for a boss who brings out the best in all of us, who fights our battles, and never expects anything in return except the best job we can do. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work for/with this man. Every one benefitted from the experience.
