TO ALL HEROES

 

TO ALL HEROES

The winds of time blow

And ages come and go;

Memories are left behind,

Forever etched on the mind.

Memories made day by day

Form legends that gently fade away;

Fading into myths and stories

Of grand battles, heroes and glories.

Stories that move and stir us up,

Imaginations flowing non-stop.

Scenes that exist just in our heads,

Tossing us about on our beds.

Scenes of lives saved and salvaged,

With the savior broken and damaged.

Scenes real and totally true,

That strengthen and build hopes anew!

Today we stand to pay our tributes

To men with outstanding attributes;

Women who against all odds, fight

To end pain and make dark hearts bright!

Nurses present when Flash comes late,

Doctors who save lives from Death's gate;

Men who risk skin to quench fires,

Wigged ones who prove they're not liars.

Those stern-faced ones in uniforms,

Who really keep peace through gun-storms;

To those on thrones that mean and do well;

Those who are honest in the things they sell.

We hear, and our hopes are strengthened,

Of lives these heroes have lengthened.

Their actions help us to sustain

The hope that it'll be bright again!

To heroes dead, dying and living,

All whose deeds keep us believing;

This day we sing and celebrate you!

These memories we'll always renew!
