Heroes Poem by Marilyn Shepperson

Woman look to your man
Girl look to your boy
Wife look to your husband
Mother look to your son
What need have you of heroes
Of screen, stage and song
When they stand there right beside you
Asking nothing but your love in return
They struggle each day with the impossible dream
Doing it only for their love of you
So I ask again, what need have you
For a fantasy hero, you can never gain
When you already have a real hero
Close by your hand
