He who's rich yet not proud, <br />He who's humble yet not easily swayed by the crowd, <br />He who's influential yet dislikes corruption and fraud, <br />He who's powerful yet doesn't boss around, <br />I calll him a hero - <br />a superhero and a half! <br /> <br />He who's weak but seldom stumbles, <br />He who's conscience never crumbles, <br />He who's often hurt but never grumbles, <br />He who's famous yet faithful like the knight of times ancient, <br />He who's reputable yet reasonably patient, <br />I call him a hero - <br />a superhero and a half! <br /> <br />He who's vulnerable yet likes caring, <br />He who's got a little yet loves sharing, <br />He who's always under pressure yet loves sacrificing for others, <br />He who likes to look and listen and learn more than giving orders, <br />I call him a hero - <br />a superhero and a half! <br /> <br />He who's ever-conscious of the needs of mankind, <br />He who's just and fair and kind - <br />whose conscience does not follow the wind <br />but his soul as steadfast and sharp his mind - <br />who's open-minded, <br />who's open-hearted, <br />who's open-handed, <br />That kind is really hard on earth to find, <br />yet, if only one on planet earth there is <br />Then I'll call him a hero - <br />a superhero and a half!<br /><br />Comfort Ndlovu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-call-him-a-hero/
