Get Name And Number Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Sometimes the best thing one can do,
After witnessing someone fall from a stumble...
Is to give them a few moments alone.
Let them quickly pick an excuse to make.
And if they make none,
To then jump back onto their feet.
Congratulate them immediately.
You have just met someone who knows what it takes,
To live life by facing obstacles and mistakes made...
Without pretending to deny them.
Get name and number and schedule a date for lunch.
This person you can trust not to deceive or tell a lie.
And just 'maybe' you have met a friend for life.
