Fallen Heroes

so like us, the fallen heroes of the past
movers, shakers, walking on the land
touching, doing, moving in time
flawed, wonderful, human
of the same stuff
seeing ourselves in them
able to write a page ourselves
to go forth with our dreams
our passions, our hopes for our times
going, doing, making our marks in the sands
