Why Do You Weep?

by IllogicalIsLogic

Spock offers courage to Saavik after having gone through the same thing she now is and finding peace within himself.

Saavik why do you weep?

Saavik why do you cry? I am half just as you and yet my eyes are dry.

My breed forsakes me and yet I do not weep.

There is nothing from them I wish to keep.

So, bring your chin up, my child and let not a single tear fall, for in time, child, you will outrun them all.
