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.
Excellent.

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! 🙂

Yeah, regardless of how hard it is, my motto has always been – “Just Show UP'”. Once you do that, the rest is easier.

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.
