someone to look up to

we want them
to be more than what they are.
heroic
in some way,
because they catch a ball,
or run fast,
we want heroes
to believe in,
to look up to and model
our lives
by their example.
and yet few are. if
lucky
a parent will fill that void,
not some
outfielder for
the Red Sox's or bleeding
hockey star.
