Heroes



Great heroes, big and small
Can't say when they'll be back again.
Now it's hard to say whether they are alive, or dead
So many miles away.
How can they tell their loved ones good-night, "hope I stay alive to talk to you another night?"
Now I can tell you sometimes they don't talk that much, anyway.

I'm 13. I love Journey to the Past, Hey There Delilah, and Once Upon a December. I love the movies Scott Pilgrim VS The World and Anastasia."Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." ~Ronald Reagan"Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up totally lost." ~ Alex Gaskarth"Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr."Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong." ~ Alex GaskarthAwesome youtube video(s) of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmRIFVH4O4&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV-HPOHu8mY more…
