Often we hear tales of valiant men, <br />heroes from legends of old; <br />heroes that rise up against evil <br />and stand up for the good, <br />Seeking justice for <br />the poor, and the weak in the world. <br /> <br />And I wonder, <br />Has the world forgotten the unseen <br />And ordinary heroes of today? <br />Has the world turned a blind eye <br />To the men and women who <br />Fight the everyday battles <br />To keep a child’s hopes and dreams alive <br /> <br />These are the real heroes <br />Of every day America <br />The unseen and forgotten mentors <br />Of the upcoming generation <br />And the future leaders of tomorrow <br /> <br />Often we hear tales of valiant men <br />And heroes from the legends of old <br />Often we forget the true heroes <br />Of everyday America <br /> <br />Take the time to see <br />The men and women <br />Who are in our schools teaching everyday <br />These truly remarkable people <br />Who dedicate their lives <br />To keep the hopes and dreams <br />Of tomorrow’s leaders alive<br /><br />Nicole GravellPellerino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-forgotten-heroes-2/
