Shoulders of Heroes: A Poem
We stand on the “shoulders of heroes” that have gone before us, and really what we strive to do…..Is live up to their “legacy.”
What is a legacy?
A legacy is what you leave behind when your physical being has passed on.
What is a hero?
He is admired for courage…..
Faithfulness…..
His achievements….
And noble qualities.
A soldier is a hero, loyal to his country….
Willing to fight and die!
He has patriotism, courage, honor, loyalty….
And absolute honesty, confidence, and service…..Before self.
A good soldier dedicates himself…..To keep…an oath.
Faith is precious to the good soldier….
He does everything in his power….
To keep it pure and undefiled.
A good soldier realizes he must have….
Determination, selflessness….
Be physically and mentally strong.
A good soldier is…..
A follower….. Faithful, familiar, a fighter….
Endures hardship….Does not quit…..
Has determination…… and bravery.
A good soldier is…..
Disciplined, has consistency….
Motivation and skills.
Soldiers have the most important job on earth!!!!
We, as ordinary people, also want to pass on a legacy with quality…
To our community…our church….Our families and friends.
We, too, can be a hero…..Just like a soldier…….
And carry on our legacy….Through the years.
