Bravest Heart Stands Upon a Mountain High

Bravest Heart Stands Upon A Mountain High When courage dares in proving it exists Bravest heart stands upon a mountain high Troubles reigning and evil turns to twist When honor sets itself ready to fly. Deeds little sung but princely overall Ransom demanded so bravely in blood paid Honor, loss paid by those hearing the call Courage the test, death the ransom in trade. Life singing holding truth of honest light Where danger and pain are the highest cost What bravery if not in great hard fight Or great battle praised, if nothing is lost? The brave living with hearts and golden souls. Sacrifices give admirable roles! Robert J.

You are correct my friend. Millions of everyday heroes never known or heralded. They face and overcome obstacles everyday that are daunting and serious.
