Warrior's through all the ages
Have filled History's pages
With feats of unbelievable will
Some flew into action while others stood still
What makes one stand out above the rest?
Stepping ahead and meeting the test
Some inter strength we all have inside
Or the power to save many who might have died
Does compassion for your fellow man
Help a person meek or strong take a stand
Who knows what lies deep inside
What is it that allows us so far to bend
Than to snap like a rubber band
Taking the situation in hand
Stepping ahead of all the others
Joining the ranks of their heroic brothers
Not knowing why, only that they did
So that many others might live
What makes a hero?
A question that no one knows
