Hero

An Unlikely Hero

A man passed by my window today,
he was old and tired and withered away,
he was bent over, creaking aching and pale,
grey in appearance weak and frail.
I watched from my window could not comprehend
how he raised from his chair with that painful back bend,
how he got up the courage to get on with the day,
as the wind pushed his bones and rain washed them away,
but the man had the courage to cast all worries away,
that old hero who passed by my window today.

(2014)
