He stayed to guard the crossing.
Feet and hands grew numb.
Still he guarded the gate.
The blind girl felt her way over.
Coffee she brought, and leggings.
He let her put them on him.
Feet we're freezing then.
And he never told her,
She kissed him happily,
Then felt her way back home.
They found him and cared for him.
Next day he tended furnaces again.
She never knew about it.
We're praying she will be cured.
