Crying Shame

I drive a taxi And over the Christmas period The charge per mile is higher over Christmas because they are public holiday's And on Christmas day I drove a father a 10.5 miles round trip to pick up his son From his ex who he had for the day Which would normally cost about £30 But in total though it came to £55 about $79 dollar's U.S And watching them interact on the journey home I thought how on earth with a conscious and a soul Could i charge this Father and Son £55 to be together over Christmas So I charged him £25 but he offered me £40 Telling me he knew how much it would cost And that he knew i was working on Christmas day Feeling empathy for me somehow In the end i had to bargain him down and settle on £30 And I thought after accepting it And driving away What a crying shame on me and credit to him Watching them i hope that little boy Know's that the astronomical cost of a cab fare Was a cost willing to pay For a Father wanting to see his son over Christmas Happy Christmas all And spare a prayer a lottery winning thought For all those unsung genuine people Like this doting father Who forsake themselves above anyone else Love, Happiness and Prosperity To all of those who try With no ulterior motive To them this world and the next May God Protect Please
