30. Catch

Art by @lupeaart

Catch the sparkle in their eye

As they tell you stories of

Trials, triumph

Glory

Catch as they falter in their speech

Omitting

Fear and lonesome nights

Catch their gaze and assure

With your own sparkling eyes

Yes they are a hero to many

Including you

But more so

They will always be

Human
