Hero

A poem dedicated to my Mother

   Hero
 

When I think of my favorite song, it is Hero, by Mariah Carey.To me, the hero inside me is my Mother, because when I feel I am facing the world alone, she is always there. Hero As I have traveled this long road of life, There is only one person in my life Who I could really depend upon To make me see right from wrong; She would always make me see The real me and for that I thank her. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are She taught me that all I had to do Was to look inside to find my true self; I never really knew what she meant, But as I get older . . . I have begun to understand. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are The first time I heard this song My Mom came to my mind Because she is my true hero; She's been there for me through it all, The good and the not so good times. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are She always told me that The sorrows that I felt Would soon subside and that True happiness would find Its way back to my heart. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are And then my hero comes along, It was my mother all along, She gave me strength to carry on, Helped me cast my fears away When I felt all hope was gone. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are She said, 'Just look inside yourself And you will see a better you.' She has always stood beside me In everything I've had to do, Be it right or be it wrong, She's been there to see me through. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are She tells me, search within my self And a hero I would find; When no one else reached out to help, My Mom would always lend a hand To guide me down the right path. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are When that hero comes along, I have strength to carry on, And my fears are cast aside Because I know I can survive With her strength to carry me Through life's dark and stormy sea. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are So when I feel all hope is gone I can finally see the truth And that is that a hero lies in me, Because you, Mom, were there to guide me through. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are Lord knows my dreams have often beenHard to realize, but then She would always to me say, Don't let them take your dreams away, Hold on to them oh so tight For tomorrow always comes, in time. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are You'll find a way to make your dreams come true So as I sit here writing, Mom, I want to thank you For all the times you have been there To pick up the pieces of my broken spirit, To help mend what needed mending, And most of all for your love, You see you are the true HERO in my life. There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are By Melissia Ann Senter
