April 26th: Together We Stood

Dazed I stood at the site I could not believe Surely my eyes were wrong and attempting to deceive A flash of red had led me to this world unspoken She was trapped under his body so utterly broken Still I don't know what I thought through all of that commotion But I had to preserve what a father had saved with his unending devotion Through the muck and rain I wiped her tears As she told me of her life, hopes, and fears I prayed this light would not fade away Like the sun on that stormy April day Above we heard from under our soaked blanket A cry from the others telling her she was going to make it I am not the one who deserves praise for such bravery For the hero's were our neighbors who showed true comradery
