"My Hero"

My father was a hero

to everyone he met.

He knew about life.

He said If you outwork the 

other students and never 

give up, you will win

the race one day.

He said work hard in 

school, and maybe

someday you can

help yourself and 

your family.

He said that the good

thing about words is they 

can also bring life into

our spirits.

He said the poor and ill

are described as beetles, 

but they are heaven's angels.

I have showed him that I 

am a success, his success.

He might still be a hero

tragic and flawed,

but a hero, my hero.
