There are those special people that rises to the occasion
Others that persevere and some that need no persuasion
Refusing to look the other way when troubles start to loom
Remaining positive always when some others only think of doom
Won't ever turn down a challenge when the opportunity arises
Sure to stand out from the crowd without the use of any guises
The ability to withstand the storms on dark and gloomy days
Never giving in to adversity no matter what anybody does or says
Remains ever on the battle fields of life just to win their war
Always fighting for a worthy cause no matter how near or far
They are those silent heroes who've fought unknown by me or you
May not be on the front lines but still they are the chosen few
