The Survivor

 

I kept on walking, he said,

Until I was no longer in the cold.

 

How did you find your way? they asked.

I kept on walking, he said.

 

How did you keep up hope? they asked.

I kept on walking, he said.

 

You must be very brave, they said.

And very strong.

You must be a kind of hero.

 

No, he said.

I am no kind of hero.

It is only

That I kept on walking.
