Unsung Hero

The man who shares his seat to the elderly,
In the bus when nobody cares to see.

He always checks his environment,
When he is buying an important ticket.
Checking if he will see a woman trying hard carrying a baby,
He intended to give his place for that lady.

The one who always says thank you,
After the vendor gives the change that is due.

He is lenient overlooking little things,
Just for the sake of avoiding conflict.

He does not want hate and war,
He wants peace.
Not because he is incapable,
But because he just came from it.

A man who always smiles,
When a stranger gives him a stare.

For the dogs, showing the teeth is intimidating,
But he is showing his teeth for the sake of smiling.
To lift the spirit,
To kill the awkwardness.

His eyes are teary when he smiles,
Those eyes that have seen almost ever man's kind.

He knows everyone will take advantage if given a chance,
Thus he gives his advantage for the weak and deprived.

Might not be the only one in this world,
But he can't be described by a common word.

I always see him in everyday,
He too always smiles at me.

When I look at the mirror,
It's him I see.
