No Names
(#14 “No Names”, from “Gods, Heroes and Asteroids” )
They wouldn’t tell us their names or
where they came from or
where they were going from here.
They saved lives…
hundreds of lives –
They wanted no money.
They said their reward was our success.
They didn’t even look back.
They went ahead…
left a well blazed trail if
we chose to follow.
The only thing they said:
“You’re saved...
It’s up to you to do the same.”
