Who is a hero?

How do you define?

One runs to danger

Is one of the signs

Service to others

Puts life on the line

Protects our families

Your sacrifice shines

Shut down the threat

Use body as shield

Carry the injured

And empties crime field

Shelter folks fleeing

Provide a safe place

Reach out a strong hand

To help one keep pace

Hug away terrors

Hold hurting ones hands

Cry with the shattered

Help hurting to stand

Show up to give blood

Pick up those who've dropped

Listen to anguish

Cook for the shell shocked

All can be heroes

Some are outstanding

All should be grateful

Brave keep us standing
