I know people who are heroes in my life.  They are heroes in a different way than is
typical.  
No matter the situation that they find themselves in their
words are the same.  They reflect a
person who is willing to bridle their frustrations and speak in a respectful
way—all the time!
I hope that by the time my life is through that I will be a
person like this.
One of these heroes is somebody I don’t even know that
well.  He works at the same place I
do.  Granted, I have never been in his
home and I don’t interact with him in any other venue than work but for a lot
of years I have watched him treat others how he would like to be treated and
always kept himself in control.  He
speaks in a tone of gentleness.  I admire
that a great deal. 
The power that comes from gentle words is incredible.  I hope to be like one of my heroes.
