The Face of a Hero

Heroes have many faces

Despite their deathlike pallor

The sum of any soldier

Is measured by their valor

The fear they feel in battle

But never ever flinches

Is purely a reflection

Of courage in the trenches

Even with odds against them

Will still fight to their last breath

Ever stalwartly they stand

And march bravely to their death
