Today's word is "derring-doo" ... DER-ing-DOO ... daring deeds; heroic daring. (Dictionary.com)
Brave
From yesteryear there are reports,
Of wondrous daring-doo,
By soldiers brave, by saint and sage,
There are but very few.
This of course, does not count,
The many average heroes,
Who each day courage show,
Though their chance for fame is zero.
If you are sure in your beliefs,
Do not quake or cower,
Stand firm and know all will be well,
In the final hour.
