My Modern Day Hero

"Stupendous Gallantry in our Society"

   Without heroes we are all plain people and don’t know how far we can go.

-Bernard Malamud-

     True heroes are those who live and die, and live again in people who believe in them. Heroes who lived and died but remained dead are not heroes but fossils. The lives of truest heroism are those in which there are no great deeds to look back upon. It is the  little things well done that counts to make up a successful and truly good life. The world's battlefield have been in the heart, chiefly more heroism has been displayed in the household and the closet, than on the most memorable battlefield of history.

     In today's society it is hard to know someone who another person can look up to as a hero. It takes special quality and person for others to know they can look up to and follow without worrying about lead astray. The modern day hero I have chosen is someone who not only is willing to lay his life down for another, but also is willing to fight for us. My mother, she is the head of a family of small connected senses that blend into your daily life to make it serene , healthy and pleasurable. Mother, mom, mommy, tell whatever you want she is a woman who has raised a child and given birth to a child.

      A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when a diversity takes place of prosperity; when friends desert us, when trouble thickens around us, still she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsel to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
