The People’s Hero**  

The community loves a hero bold,  
A man of heart, both kind and gold.  
He walks among them, hears their cries,  
Bringing hope where sorrow lies.  

He finds the lost, he lifts the weak,  
He gives his hand before they speak.  
Their hunger met, their pain relieved,  
In him, they trust, in him, believe.  

Through trials fierce and nights so cold,  
He stands unshaken, strong and bold.  
Not for glory, not for fame,  
But love that fuels his sacred flame.  

And so the people rise as one,  
With hands that match the work he’s done.  
For he who gives shall never fall,  
The love he shares returns to call.  

They lift him high, they walk beside,  
Their hero strong, their hope, their guide.  
As long as he stands, they will too,  
Bound in love forever true.
