My Heroes

My heroes

are people who

quietly

and fearlessly

stand in their own shoes.

My heroes

are people who

face the mirror

and like

what they see,

all the while

polishing.

My heroes

are people who

realize

love is enough

and unconditionally

surrender it,

and to it.

My heroes

are people who

change

the universe

by changing

my world with

their glowing footprints.

This weekend, while you're splashing in the pool or lake, cruising around in the boat, barbequing in the back yard, downing iced tea or beer, playing cards or frisbee or baseball... take a minute. Thank a hero. If they're long gone, don't be ashamed to raise a toast. If they're still alive, thank them personally.

To all who have served family, friend, community and country... to all who've made a difference that changed even one life for the better... Thank You!

Happy Memorial Weekend!
