Analysis of Hero
by Max Burchett
Isn’t it what we all want to be?
Someone who all can see
Is stronger and braver,
Man of steel or greater.
Could that be you, or me?
What I know it seems
Is it may not be,
Hasn’t been for me,
The man on the screen
Who has been the hero there for me.
Superpowers are great
If that is what you are hoping to find.
If that is your fate,
I guess that is fine
Since that strength lies within.
I will give you this.
There are sure to be times
When we each and all are called on to be
The hero or heroine in some form or fashion.
Hope I will be ready for that occasion.
When that someone needs me to be
What another has been to me,
The savior from grief or self.
Courage to act, wisdom to share,
I hope then in me the hero is there.
