You Are a Hero

3cardmonte
We were 17

You were a history teacher

One of the chaperones on our class trip out

Most of us had a crush on you

We were all just strolling along

Talking

About nothing really

Suddenly

You ran into the middle of the road

We screamed

What the hell are you doing?

You grabbed him

The little boy

The car was inches away

You pulled him to safety

We cheered

You were then and still are to this day

8 years later

Always have been

Always will be

A hero

Our hero

    Internet is being strange at the moment, quick comment until it HOPEFULLY starts behaving!

    One of these days, our Internet connection will behave and I'll be able to read and leave relevant comments. Today doesn't seem to be that day. *sigh*

    I love the simplicity of the words and the power of their message. Beautiful poem.

    My Internet finally connected, so I'm doing quick comments at the moment. Maybe one of these days I can actually leave some more relevant comments on articles! I'm still reading, though!

    I love the way you've pointed out how one person's actions can affect not only a child's life (saved the child from harm) but left you remembering him as a hero. How many heroes are out there, making a difference - even if they don't make the front page of the paper? Your poem made me wonder about that.
