In that moment on a hill
Your nature was revealed,
For unlike no other
You dared to bother,
To listen, to share
To inquire, to care.
A lonely girl, her emotions bared,
You approached and were not scared
To stand out from the crowd
From the common herd,
To shine your smile and give a kind word.
You who acted and would take a stand
Possesses that quality that defines a man.
For to empathize is no ordinary task
As is to give of yourself without being asked.
Mediocre and ordinary, you cannot say,
About you who would jump into the fray
For a simple gesture or to take up a sword,
With the knowledge that gratitude would be your only reward.
