The Strange(r) Meeting

It was a very clean road,
I was walking very bored.
I was on the pavement,
Looking for entertainment.
I saw the people walking fastly,
To reach the desired place very eagerly.


watched them feeling guilty
Hey! Let’s introduce me,
I am a human around twenty,
And, I live the way I want to be.
The walk gave me pleasure,
since I had much leisure.

Towards me came a lady,
Who moved my heart with her beauty!
Then I noticed she was heavy
With child, a mother, soon to be.
When she drew near, she stumbled, about to fall,
I caught her, the accident to forestall.

I helped and asked “Can’t you see and come;
A fall at this stage would be fearsome?”
She replied that all she could see was black,
By which answer I was taken aback.
I asked her whether she was all right.
She answered “fine, except for my sight”.

Her statement stumped me;
A braver woman I am yet to see.
I realised from the way she spoke
She was brimming with Confidence and Hope.
While returning after bidding her good bye
I wiped a tear from my eye.
