Hope Restored

My name is Shawn and I want to make that clear It seems like I am no longer wanted around here Washington state has done for me all it can do Then I got a simple act of kindness from a guy like you His name is Mike and he was once like me And someone helped him out too just as he is doing for me I needed a second chance at and to restart my life I posted on Craigslist all about my fight With life that seems to be so hard for me And my depression that stirs up inside of me I lost all my hope and prayed and prayed to the lord Hoping to get on last chance that would be heard I heard a voice one day say Billings Montana Go there right away But I did not have any money to buy a bus ticket there And it all seemed like life would end here Then Mike responded to my ad He said that He would be glad To help me out because he was there in life before And someone else helped him out there for He purchased my ticket and told me there ya go I am glad to help you now you must go I cried like a baby and my tears flowed Do to a simple act of kindness that I was bestowed I thank you Mike and will not forget The act of kindness you did for me instead Of turning your back and looking the other way Helping a stranger out in his dismay I just have six simple words to say to you GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU
