you with the broken wings
the sorry hands
and the straining back
the world rotates in oblivious delight
to spite your hardships
and yet you keep living
working through their laughter
when nothing goes your way
i honor your perseverence
you are my hero
you with the cocky grin
the dapper stride
and the lucky breaks
the world trails in your glory
success in all your endeavors
and yet you stay humble
giving others a boost
and with a smile
i honor your true compassion
you are my hero
you with the family,
the tax returns
and the odinary worries
the world rotates with indifference
to you in your little world
and yet you keep working
to change your community
in some small way, it's important to you
i honor your aspirations
you are my hero

I really liked this one Jessi, It seemed slightly anti climactic, but it was still very good, I've felt like this before, when I look at my mom and think of all she went through to get to where she is. good job.
