The Blind and Disabled

In the land of Damascus, in 1889, A photo taken, of a friendship so fine. The subject of which, were two remarkable men, There's a lot we could learn, from listening to them. Very different fellows, Muhammad and Samir, Both from different faiths, let's make that clear. Muhammad was Muslim, religious devout, But his friend, Samir, he could not do without. Samir was Christian but needed Muhammad as much. Because he was blind, feeling only by touch. Muhammad was disabled, unable to walk, But could direct Samir, when they needed to walk. And so they became, the best of lifelong friends, Combining their strengths, as means to ends. Carried on Samir's back, Muhammad was his guide, On one another, they each relied. They lived in the same house, until Samir passed away, Leaving Muhammad to grieve, for many a day. Crying at the loss, of his "eyes" and his friend, The unbearable pain of which, brings his own life to end. Dying of grief, seems a sad end to this tale, But their inspiration, is in what we should regale, Two opposing faiths showed there is always hope. Helping each other, in learning to cope.
