Ordinary heroes
Work hard every day,
To do as they’re trained
Save a life,
Put out a fire; blazing hot,
Stop a crime; change a life,
Protect the land of the free
Until the day comes
When the call requires
A sacrifice most extraordinary
In that instant
become extraordinary heroes
*Not so sure about this poem. Maybe I'll like it better later. Came to me too easily (10 minutes) right before bed, inspired by a song. Too common of a theme?
9/17/09: Thinking about changing the last stanza to "In that instant ordinary heroes/become legends". I'm also concerned that the first stanza rhymes and the rest doesn't. Not sure if that causes a flow issue or confusion for the reader. Edit points are included to allow specific comments for those who wish to provide them. Thanks!
