Once, long ago,
The meaning of brave,
Was to have no fears,
Always saving the day.

Now, thanks to many,
The meaning has changed,
No longer fearlessness,
But facing the pain.

You went to the army,
Dispite some of your fears,
Protecting our country,
At times, fighting back tears.
Now that's what I call BRAVE!
