Heroes of Struggle. Sweating it out, tears running free No food to eat, but work to be done Home nothing but a shack, empty shell Children crying, children dying Finally, an aid worker appears Months of pain and hunger Laid to rest for a short while Battle weary, home many miles away Loneliness as mates lay torn to shreads Soldier, do not give up, there is need for peace Even though your own have deserted you You make this world a better place The scars you bear, are scars of freedom We are proud of your strength and spirit Moving out, nothing new, pushed aside Homeland, once of ancestors aplenty In search of a peaceful place to rest Tired bodies, tired hearts, spirits high For somewhere, there is a home to make Years of struggles, foreigners so powerful Shoving, pushing, yelling, and killing A people move on passively, peacefully. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Yes! I don't think you have to look far, there are heroes all around us. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Eagle one, Thank you, many heroes stand by us but the world seem to forget they are there. |

Daniel, These are very powerful words. Much truth in your words, as sad as it is. Way too many hero's have gone unnoticed and given no thanks. Thank you for writing a reminder. Deb |
