A HERO


 A hero is one who stands and fights,


 Gives that which he has to the one that may die.


 For that which he believes, he'll surrender his life,


 Take a bullet, jump in front of a car, and not hide.


 He'll do what it takes for family or friends,


 Walk into a fire, give a lung or a limb.


 He'll give of himself although stricken with fear,


 Man or woman, heroes can be anywhere or any one.


 A hero is one who will lay down his gun,


 Be there when crisis is upon us.


 A hero is made up of those who stand together,


 Whatever the battle, no matter the weather.
