A HERO


 A hero is one who stands and fights,


  Gives that which he has to the one who 
  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 anyone.


  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.
