Hero

Look onward out towards the crashing waves of the sea. 
It's there I dare to compare the rock holding form upon the crystal reef.
Compare to whom for there is no capable being upon this Earth holds claim to equal such
I know only one strong enough to withstand those  violently crashing waves , my hero , my daddy, his back totes the weight of the world every day , this rock standing firm in the heart of the crystal reef, holds little force to compare 
Journey with me for your eyes won't believe 
Young but recalling the blizzard one winter my hero, my daddy that returned from the mountain 
Eyes of sky blue shining through crystals of icicle hanging from his lashes, his face purple from the wicked freeze of sleet.
I peered with pain while my mother laid warmth over my hero's frozen face, it was the rock in the reef that cold winter's day far across the fierce mountain snow he tracked to provide a meal a for his family 
A wife and four girls , a back that had been broken not one but three times , I couldn't hold the tears in my eyes as my bus passed him walking as it drove me to school  there was no money for a vehicle, my hero, my daddy, five miles to and five miles home, every  single day for over six months and never missed a day , walked with his cripple  back to provide for us 
His hands were covered with hard labor of his life as the mines collapsed sparing his life as it ripped his finger away 
His job led him underground just miles from hell for to long
Turning his lungs to it's likeness of the coal 
Three days went by what seemed forever as the rubble they lifted from that mine was like holding a gun to the head of the men trapped in below 
For the chance of that bullet one wrong move would send the mine and it's beings far beneath the earth to never be found. 
We glared at the pile of rubble they said time was running out 
Wait what does that mean as the families begin to weep
When all of the sudden the minor let out the words that sounded angelic to my ears, Men I see a light shining in the hole and it's coming towards me. 
I could see as what looked in the form of a man but was covered with black from the coal the light from his hard hat turning side and up and down as he had one man on his shoulder he lifted him out and disappeared to retrieve the other men still down in that deep dark hole. One by one my hero my daddy brought them to their safety , this my friend is the rock from the reef that can withstand the crashing waves,  the man that tracked through a freezing blizzard to make sure his family ate, and the man that returned the husband's home safe to their family's from the depths of hell that day Always and forever this man will be , My Hero , My Daddy!
