Heroes

War is no longer just a game,
There are many out there giving up their lives, and yet they get no fame.
They stand for us, when we cannot,
They prove themselves more brave than originally thought.
Heroes do not wear capes, nor do they have powers,
No, these men and women are our heroes, standing tall and strong as towers.
They keep us alive, and allow us to be free,
Without them, we would not be free to be you and me.
Our heroes leave, and many will not return,
Many families will have to feel that painful burn.
Lives will be lost for every battle won,
But together we should stand, because together we are one.
