A hero, through this, to become everyone may seek.

G entleness, if one shows, mustn’t be thought that they are meek.

E xtending one’s hand to help, we must, if there is a need

The last line throws me. But I like it still.

I agree that gentleness must not be confused by weakness.

True courage is that which can be held under control...unless drastic measures are needed.

Just think of parents who have died trying to save the life of their children...that type of courage is just built into love and grows as time passes.
