You Are My Hero

Everyone needs a hero
To look up to each day
A person who is there for them
In their own special way.

Some people are national heroes
Seen on the television screen,
While others quietly live for others
As a wonderful, loving human being.

You may not have won blue ribbons
And wear no medals on your chest
But you will always be my hero,
And because I know you, I am blessed!

In Honor of Virgina Tech

We will recover
But we will not be the same.
We will grow stronger,
But we will never forget
each missing name.
We will carry on;
we will prevail.
We will fight
for the good and true.
But we will not forget;
we will never forget
The tragedy we’ve been through.
It is in our hearts and minds;
it is with us every day.
It will get better with time
but the memory
will not fade away.
We must go forward
in our daily quest,
For those we’ve lost
and honor in our memories
Would want for us nothing less.

What I Want to Be

We plan when we are children
And dream of what we want to be
It begins almost as soon
As we leave our mothers' knees.
But when we get older
Our prayer becomes a plea
That we would become
What God wants us to be.
