27. I could have saved a life today
but chose to look the other way.
It wasn’t that I didn’t care.
I had the time, and I was there
but I didn’t want to seem a fool
and argue over safety rules.
I knew he’d done the job before.
if I called it wrong, he might get sore.
The chances didn’t seem that bad.
(I’ve done the same. He knew I had.)
So I shook my head and walked on by.
He knew the risks as well as I.
He took the chance, I closed my eye
and with that act I let him die.
I could have saved a life that day
but chose to look the other way.
Now every time I see his wife
I know I should have saved his life.
I see his kids and feel so sad.
They cry at night. They’ve lost their Dad.
That guilt is something I must bear
but isn’t something you need share.
If you see a risk that others take,
that puts their health or life at stake ..
... The question asked, or things you say
could help them live another day.
If YOU see a risk and walk away,
then hope YOU never have to say
I could have saved a life today
but chose to look the other way.
