A True Hero

A TRUE HERO

KNOWS 
THEY ARE GOING TO DIE 
TOMORROW
AND THEIR LOVED ONES 
AND OTHERS

AND 
THAT  SOME 
MAY HAVE A LONG LIFE 
OF SUFFERING 
AND PAIN

AND YET
THEY LIVE 
EVERY MOMENT 
IN THE PRESENT
TO THE FULLEST 

WITH 
NO FEAR
NO COMPROMISE
NO ANGER 
AND NO REGRETS

ONLY 
LOVE 
COMPASSION
AND 
HEROISM
