February 1994
With much acclaim are your brave actions known,
All speak of might and sword which killed cursed snake,
Yet, still, can I recall your best was shown,
The moment when you kneeled, my hand to take.
Your reputation will be hard to shake,
When few can see behind what made you great:
You come not caring that your life's at stake,
So long as you can save that foolish bait.
I will say now of Hero's most known trait,
The strength, the Steel, of which they rightly rave,
Is born of care for those in direst strait,
You fend for them as much in class as cave.
Your kindness always seen as strongly here,
As when you found you faced our darkest fear.
