Poems

"A Hero"

He was a hero to the people and a leader for all men,

he lead a band of brothers into the devil's den.

On eagles wings he jumped into the blackest hour blood stained crimson red,

he lead his men until the job was done, and looked across the field at his brothers fallen dead.

On to victory he pushed; the bravest of the brave, he was a warrior within and had the dignity of a man,

He defines The Greatest Generation a selfless hero who fancied no fans.

Unwavering he did the job he was asked, he lead a band of brothers into the devil's den,

war does not make men great, but sometimes, war brings out the greatness in men.
