FOR HEROES ~ NEVER SMALL

When I think of heroes,

it's your face I see;

Who bravely put your life

in constant jeopardy.

Retreating, no never, when

the bugle made that sound;

who heard not the shot that

brought you to the ground.

When I think of heroes,

your face comes to mind;

Who piloted your plane,

like a bat, flying blind.

Who flew for your country,

for she needed you so;

The last words from your lips,

"God, keep my family ~ now I must go" !

When I think of heroes,

I see you kneeling there;

praying for lov'd ones & strangers,

because you truly care.

Selflessly praying ~ " O, Father,

show them the way;

Keep them safe, blessed Lord,

through each ferocious fray."

When I think of heroes,

it's your memory I hold near;

The ones the seas now cradle,

who fought on through the fear.

Who took to that watery grave,

hopes and dreams ne'er realized;

When I think of all you gave,

unbidden tears flow from my eyes.

And, when I think of heroes,

I see my Jesus on the Cross;

suff'ring death for ALL mankind,

not counting the cost.

Whose life paid our sin~debt,

nail~scarr'd hands stretched out still;

who made THE WAY where there

seemed none for WHOSOEVER WILL !

Yes, when I think of heroes,

who have given their ALL;

My heart is raised in honour,

For Heroes ~ Never Small !!
