A Hero

Medals are for heroes
commendations for the brave
courage and devotion
bravery, sacrifice,
flow in their veins

We celebrate and honour
those who carry
such a life
giving and unequalled
price often the life

One man saw a need
stepped into the fray
his life was exchanged
so we could slip away
he stood alone for us

Blood was spilt
life was taken
we could escape
where is his medal ribbon
never had one

He died for people
to save them so....
Jesus was his name
a substitute who came
