An Everyday hero

Hero Rap/Poem

Everyday heroes are sometimes your dad

Your dad protects you from the bad.

My dad is my everyday hero

He won’t leave me zero.

Sometimes they give children toys

They love filling up kids with joys.

Most heroes help everyday

They will make you happy today.

They can be your friend

They will give you a helping hand to lend

They are responsible.

Sometimes you look up to them and you think they are remarkable.

An everyday hero can be your coach

Sometimes they will approach.

Any one can be a hero even you

You don’t have to turn around and be blue.
