we sat by the side
of our child through
endless chemo treatments
feeling the isolation
of our child through
endless chemo treatments
feeling the isolation
each and every night.
the woman made
the scary decision to
slip away from her
abusive partner, taking
her kids to the shelter
thinking she was all alone.
the student struggled
to find the courage
to stand up to the bullies
who tormented him every day
convinced he was the only one.
and you were there
in the nurse bringing
blankets and pillows,
the taxi driver who would
not take any payment,
in the classmates who
said, 'we've got your back.'
