Unsung Hero

by Tammie   Oct 7, 2007


Like an unsung hero, she saved hearts and lives
Portraying a fairy tale angel without wings
Delving into situations not worth her while
Giving all but hope filled lives meaning

Like an unsung hero, she saved hearts and lives
From mending tattered and torn hearts
To healing incision wounds ever so deep
She stopped people from slowly falling apart

Like an unsung hero, she saved hearts and lives
Gluing the pieces back together again
Blessing tortured souls, granting hopeful wishes
Always there to take away everyone's pain

Like an unsung hero, she saved hearts and lives
Never putting herself first, life passed by
A whisper in the wind that one day got louder
Her own problems caught up, which she couldn't deny

Like an unsung hero, she saved hearts and lives
She saw promising future in everyones eye's
No one bothered to look back or care the same
Not a soul thought to save her, in her silent demise.

    Fro the title itself up to the content shows your deep sadness and it was really revealed as i continue reading your work.. i find this uniquely written piece of your heart. i somehow agree on this poem, there are people who are willing to listen and help other people from their problems but there are times when you're in need there are some people. whom you expected to be there the most aren't there.. the thought of it makes me feel gloomy. good writing!! keep it up

    It's a love poem.. Love for others. Love and faith for others. I think it should go there.

    I REALLY like this. You tell so many good stories about the benefit others in your poetry. It's pure and sweet, to be honest.
    You had very good form, vocabulary, and everything. I can't critique; only say very good job. I'm fond of what you've done here. One of the best I've read today.

    Fantastic write. The imagery was strong, and the repetition of the first line is very powerful. I like the concept as well.
