My perception of a hero has changed over the years.
Presently, a hero to me is someone who understands you,
Without pretending to - someone who will listen to your worries
And offer you advice - or admit honestly that they don't know how to help.
A hero, to me, is someone who can make you smile without meaning to,
And brighten up your day when so far it's been a right old stinker.
A hero is someone who sticks up for you when other people turn against you,
Someone who isn't afraid to help you fight your battles, whatever they may be.
A hero is someone who lets you cry when you’re sad,
Cries with you when you’re happy, and isn’t jealous of a single thing in your life.
A hero is someone who’ll hug you for no reason, wrapping you in their arms for
Safety, love and unity.
A hero is someone who’ll call just to see if you got home alright,
Someone misses you when they said goodbye five minutes previously.
A hero is a true, honest friend.
