I watched as he fell
His body crumpled in a heap on the ground
What he desired most was taken from him
Glory and recognition
I stood and looked upon his predicament
Would I end up like that one day?
Broken and without the will to go on
Would people pass me by as if I meant nothing?
No! I would let no such thing happen
I would not give up
Nor would I stand by and watch someone else do so
For if I cannot save them now how can I save myself later?
I took those few steps over
My hand appearing before his eyes
Giving up is no way to go
Let me hold your hand
A smile flashed across his face
Even in the midst of pain he recognized hope
History books will never record this moment in time
Yet neither he nor I shall forget.
