Everyday somewhere in the world  
another unsung hero is born.  
Someone who is willing,  
to lay his life on the line  
to save another living creature,  
on this wonderful planet of ours.  
To go out of their way,  
and risk life and limb to save something,  
from danger and certain death.  
These unsung heroes don’t want medals,  
glory or even fame.  
In fact, most would walk away afterwards,  
without anyone ever knowing their name.  
It is not that they feel guilty.  
They just feel that they haven’t done  
anything that is special  
or something someone else  
wouldn’t have probably done.  
Therefore, to all those unsung heroes  
this poem is just for you.  
For all the lives that you save  
each and every day.
