A Different Kind of Hero: A Poem by Rupali Mistry

Not all heroes come to the rescue.
Some step back and cheer for you.
Not all heroes have shining armors.
Some instill hope in dreary corners.
Not all heroes ride steeds that fly.
Some ignite a spark in your mind.
Not all heroes wield a sharp lance.
Some till the earth with their hands.
Not all heroes have superpowers.
Some translate sunsets and flowers.
Not all heroes lead battle armies.
Some clean the rivers and the seas.
Not all heroes save damsels in danger.
Some decide to walk to protect Nature.
Not all heroes have great conquests.
Some give medicines against viruses.
Not all heroes wear a flowing cape.
Some become examples of change.
Not all heroes are decorated knights.
Some use verse to spread the light.
