The Real Heroes! <br /> <br />The world revolves and once again another day has passed. <br />Another week, another month, the year is going fast. <br />We rush though busy schedules in pursuit of some objective, <br />I wonder – do we take the time to give our lives perspective. <br /> <br />For somewhere in the universe a child cries in despair, <br />His lungs are trying hard to find another breath of air. <br />The sun is very bright outside as other children play, <br />But she cannot stop her coughing, so inside is where <br />She’ll stay. <br /> <br />For another day of tablets that her body needs to eat <br />And another day of physio to keep him on his feet. <br />The mailman has a letter which is very hard to face, <br />Another brave companion has been taken from the race. <br /> <br />Life is hard to understand when news of this type calls, <br />But he knows he must accept it, as a tear of courage falls. <br />She knows each day is precious, he knows what C.F means. <br />They know that they were born with a different pair of genes. <br /> <br />But you wont hear them complaining of their trouble and their <br />Strife, as they battle hard to make the most of every day in life. <br />And you only have to feel the warmth that’s shining in their smiles. <br />To know their bravery is measured not in inches but in miles. <br /> <br />Doctors search for cures and so the seeds of hope are planted. <br />A breath of air is something that we shouldn’t take for granted. <br />The world revolves and once again another day has passed. <br />I wonder – have you lived that day as if it were your last?<br /><br />meegan doherty<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/real-heroes-2/
