I witnessed a miracle today
One that made me look within
In search of my own
My own hero
The hero who inspires you
The one who empowers
Actions that would otherwise be A stretch
A stretch it is , indeed
The kind of stretch that holds life within
Feeling a connection with your own
The kind that makes your heart swell
Just like birth
There may be a tear
Some bigger than the other
When all you want to do is scream in vain
Till you realise that it's birth
Birth of another from within
Tear filled joy embracing it
Realising this beautiful moment
The mark may remain
As a reminder of the growth
The pain no more
Only joys that the heart strives to hold
I heard you speak about your hero
Your better half who holds the pain
The dreams of a parent
Who is just normal
Is it ambitious or indeed normal
To expect your child to do what is normal
Would others understand the pain of yearning
That only wants the best for its own
I reached out for my magic wand
That would take all your pain away
I found courage instead
To find the hero within
Inspired by the yearning of a parent as I heard the story of a dear father who yearns to hear his 8 year old tell him about his day.
