Silent Heroes

Silent heroes
In a war torn world
Choosing the softer path

Helping hands
That lay unfurled
Lending food or a bath

Simple gestures
Of love and grace
Making the world a better place

Simple pleasures
To those in need
Hungry mouths to feed

And giving warmth
To the bare and cold
Helping young and old

And teaching new things
For the better days
In quiet simple ways
