Hero Street:
The Poem Here on Hero Street We spread kindness to those we meet Our acts of awesomeness Bring a haze of happiness We give high fives To those in our lives That have taken a dive And need a helping hand From someone that understands Heroes do what they can! On Hero Street we dance To the beat of the drum We laugh and sing along To the Unsung The Special Ones You know The Givers who expect nothing back The Helpers The carriers of piggy backs There’s a Hero within You And a Hero within Me Anyone can become a Hero On Hero Street And, here, is the recipe: A spoonful of courage To remove all your worries A cup of compassion With a handful of action A dash of patience A sprinkle of kindness A yolk to put others needs above your own Mix it altogether with your fabulous self Now you’re an Everyday Hero, And you’re here to help!
