The Forgotten Hand

Never wondered who he was or what he became

Never thought of his pride nor of his shame

But for that one moment he had won

His smile and kindness had me done

For without his hand, as I fell

I'm sure I'd slip straight down to hell

And while for others it may not be a game changer

I was deeply thankful to that stranger

Whether happy and peaceful or failing in life

Whether a happy family or an estranged wife

He had saved me from being late

And for once that day I wasn't held at the gate

For that moment that my teacher didn't stare

I felt like atleast someone really did care
