When I think of a hero, I think of you.
I describe you though, as others would not do.
You’re my map when I am lost
so I can find my way.
You are my crutch when I fall down
so that I get right back up,
I’m a butterfly, you’re my wings
helping me fly.
I am a boat and you’re the sea
keeping me afloat.
You are the sun and I am a plant;
your rays of light help me grow.
As my doctor, you heal me
when I am sad or hurt,
And another thing you are is my teacher,
You teach me of the world so I will understand
and so that when it becomes time for me to
be the teacher, then I will do it well.
I finish by thanking you
for being there for me.
I am deeply grateful.
You are my hero. Hooray!
I give you my applause.
