You once told me
You wanted to die a hero.
I have a better idea
How about living like one.
Sometimes
To be a hero
You must
Simply
Stand.
Because
It’s a start.
To stand on wobbly legs
That fear life unknown.
It’s
Heroic
Enough
To face living.
Anew.

This is absolutely amazing!!! Several of us spend their lives chasing goals… While I feel that living itself is a big thing. I dream… But I don’t die if they don’t realize! I get up and walk again… Just when my spirits were low you put up this beautiful post! 🙂
Thank you Aishwarya! I’m thankful it meant something to you. And I hope you are lifted now, from that low moment. 🙂
Wonderful and powerful message. Straight to the point with meaning. I liked this idea of living as well as taking a stand.
Thank you Robin. Sometimes, it takes everything we have, just to stand.
Yeah, regardless of how hard it is, my motto has always been – “Just Show UP'”. Once you do that, the rest is easier.
It’s that first movement. The first step. The first positive thought. The first “maybe I can”. Thank you Paul.
Awesome.
Thank you!
So freaking brilliant, wish I wrote it/

Thank you Lynn 🙂
Facing life every day, consciously facing it, is the most heroic act there is.
I agree. And there are some who need to know that. Or know that “we” know that for them.
Bravo! Excellent. 🙂
Thank you Paulette ❤
Wow! Wobbly legs and all…it’s a start! This is so perfect, Colleen.
Thank you Debra 🙂
So very true 🙂
It takes all we have sometimes.
