Here is a poem that I liked from my mom’s collection about heroes falling short. No one is perfect and that’s the truth of being human.
Even Heroes Fall Short
By: Elaine Burnley
Never meet your heroes
They fall short
Never love all the good that you think you see in me
Don’t give all of your thoughts all of the trust
Don’t need me to be what you feel you need to see
Heroes ride white horses
I have no horse
Have no castle I have no gold sometimes I fall short
Don’t go searching for your knight in shining amour
My shine will dull you’ll see my scratches
You’ll feel the pain sometimes you’ll see me get wet in the rain
Heroes ride white horses
I have no horse
Have no castle I have no gold
Sometimes even heroes fall short
