The Bus Driver

Driving his bus on that fateful day along this long driven route Down a busy street he made his way his horn barely a toot People coming and people going all at such a hectic pace But the ability he was showing in placing a name to every face Yet as I had said before this day would be unique For what was at this drivers core left many unable to speak Many were just looking around trying to process what they saw But it was that which they found that really made that chilly day thaw As along his way he saw a sight that touched his humble heart Now stopped at the light he seen his chance to do his little part Putting on the emergency brake and heading out the door Suddenly people began to wake in the wondering of what for And there across the street was a man walking with no shoes He shook his hand to greet saying "hey I got some good news I want you to have these for you need them more than I" The homeless man agrees shaking his hand and waving good bye Running quickly back to his bus his socks soaking up the rain He didn't even make a fuss and got right back into lane Nobody knew what to do or even what they should say But everybody knew we saw something very special that day Winnipeg bus driver Kris Doubledee Dedicated to my Father, Joseph Thank You Dad!
