Poetry: Heroes

"War Heroes."

Look how high my home-made kite above sea level lies.
Brown paper, evening news, string and canes
Over fields, rivers and country lanes.

Double loop, trouble free, birds sing sweet.
The battle of Britain was a breeze
With my Spitfire kite thrashing trees.

Now polished medals hang over crippled toes
Can't walk, but knows where and when the wind blows.
Bees bugs and butterflies still haunt the sky
Someday soon so will I.

    There's more to a hero
    Than just

    Is it their deeds?

    Their thoughts?

    Their words?
