Hero

A man so young
About my age
Stood strong and proud,
Away he went
To free people
He would never know,
He went because
His country asked,
He made us proud,
Only fate was cruel,
Our goodbyes were final
For he did not return,
His soul went to Heaven
His lifeless body brought back,
Where his mother mourns,
The hero we loved
Gave all he could,
And so much more
