For the Sake of Goodness

For the Sake of Goodness

Many looked past him

(stooped and feeble),

scanning for the vitality of youth.

For the sake of goodness,

you saw him

(in a world that loathes the slow),

met his gaze and

linked your arm in his.

For the sake of goodness

(in this calloused world)

you noticed the invisible,

bringing the remarkable to light.
