I see you

At first glance, you were my participant.
I was put in charge of your file.
I put up with all that you gave out
for the sake of my job.

Today in the struggle,
you cried out. I came
to your side and gave
a single smile.

You repaid me in full.
You smiled and I smiled.
We danced in the moment.
Eyes opened to our shared
humanity.

I spoke softly and quietly,
you let go of your pain.
I sang you a song,
you kept on smiling.

I added a positive moment
to your life.
You added life into
my moment.

Your smile touched my heart.
I am forever changed
in the blink of a moment.
