when the stage goes dark, <br />and the crowd goes silent... <br />whose voice whispers in the quiet? <br />whose hand upon your shoulder? <br /> <br />when the show is over, <br />and they roll the credits... <br />will your name be called? <br />what will they say you have done? <br /> <br />did you feed someone hungry, <br />throw a blanket over the cold? <br />did you wipe away a tear? <br />did you hold the hand of a frightened child? <br /> <br />did you stand against the wars? <br />did you grow your own food? <br />did you listen, did you care? <br />did you risk it all for a moment of love? <br /> <br />did you live? did you dare?<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/did-you-live-did-you-dare/
