LIONHEARTED

You are the ultimate hero 
When each day 
You wake up to the morn 
Walking on shards 
Of the darkened night 
To paint a beautiful dawn 

Endlessly you forage 
In the worldly dust 
Looking for pieces

Of sanity 
Washed on your brow 
With honest sweat and tears 
To weave rousing stories 
Of humanity 

I celebrate each step 
On laden feet 
To splash through quick-sands 
Of time 
They bring you to the crest

Of every mountain 
There ever was

To climb 
For you are the hero unsung 
That I cheer for 
In your incessant bustle 
I see you write 
Your glorious destiny sublime
