Rising Above prompt from matinee muse

One loney tear
fell from his eyes

One gentle touch
helped erase the
wetness on his face

One quivering lip
a gentle kiss

A cry for help
a talk from a wise
one to encourage,
and inspire


A soft smile,
a hand to hold
and lots more encouragement.

His head is held high
he is full of confidence
there is a smile on his face
he walks with such grace.

He is now offering his hand
and shoulders to those who need it

Ahhh he has done it
he is no longer
miserable
he has walked
that walk
but became inspired.

Now he is rising above.
