I could have saved a life that day. But I chose to look the other way.

It wasnt that I didnt care, I had the time, and I was there.

But I didnt want to seem a fool, Or argue over a safety rule.

I knew hed done the job before. If I called it wrong, he might get sore.

The chances didnt seem that bad, Ive done the same, he knew I had.

So I shook my head and walked on by, He knew the risks as well as I.

He took the chance, I closed an eye, And with that act, I let him die.

I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way.

Now every time I see his wife, Ill know I should have saved his life.

That guilt is something I must bear, But it isnt something you need share.

If you see a risk that others take, That puts their health or life at stake.

The question asked, or thing you say, Could help them live another day.

If you see a risk and walk away, Then hope you never have to say,

I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way.

Bob Smith, my assistant , can always be found

hard at work at his desk. He works independently, without

wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never

thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and always

finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended

measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee

breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no

vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound

knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be

classed as an asset employee, the type which cannot be

dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be

promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be

executed as soon as possible.

Addendum:

That idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly re-read only the lines written in RED INK.
