Diamonds in The Sky At Night
When the sun is shining,
The light of the stars
Is overwhelmed,unseen,not needed.
It is when the darkness comes
That the stars can make a difference,
Adding beauty to the sky.
Likewise,it is in hard times
That we need the heroic spirit,
Shining out like stars in the night.
If in times of prosperity
You refrain from stealing,
That is relatively easy.
But if,during economic depression
When everyone is starving,
You retain your integrity,generosity,
That is quite an accomplishment,
Equal to true heroism.

Yes, the heroic spirit is not owned just by policemen or firemen or soldiers. Women can be unsung heroes. Especially when they resist the temptation of feticide - abortion.
