Silent Heroes

The most heroic people live with us in the shadows,
They fight for us in silent battles,
A girl as quiet as a whisper,
Put her life on the line for her sister,
That boy who no one knows,
Has given more of his time to the homeless than it shows,
He risked his life,
She used her body to block a knife,
Their silent ambitions,
Will go like unnoticed missions,
For they don’t look for attention from others,
It’s the feeling they’ve done good that they can keep it under covers,
These are the true heroes that live in the dark,
It’s their kindness and bravery that sets them apart.
