There are special people
Who really show they care.
They reach out and encourage
With a smile or with a prayer.
They may not even realize
How much they've "spurred you on"
Or how much strength they've lent to you
When life was looking wan.
Their example or their kindness
Then became a stepping stone
To reach a higher plane in life
And realize you weren't alone.
These are God's true heroes.
They live their lives for others.
They don't seek recognition...
Not from strangers, friends or "brothers".
