Have you ever taken a moment,
And really think about perspectives?
To some a trivial matter,
The others it is the whole world.

Think about someone you might have passed by today,
You just see a man who is wearing a camouflage hat with a woman and you'd presume their child,

But to his country he was a warrior and a true patriot,
Who gave all he could and is forever marked with brands of war,
Physical or otherwise.
Who was the perfect example of what it meant to be an outstanding soldier.

To the woman he is a provider and her rock,
An upstanding individual who's been at her side
Through thick and thin.

But maybe most importantly,
Let's look at the perspective of the child,

To the child the man could beat Superman in an arm wrestling match,
Could beat the Flash in a foot race,
And outsmart even Batman.

Or perhaps to the child, the man is the chaser away of monsters that reside in the closet,
The kisser of boo-boos,
And an always willing participant of made up games,

In both of these scenarios,
The man is a hero.

You just need to look at it from the right perspective
