The Wave

Woke up this morning with the brightest idea That I took with me to a busy street corner today I didn't carry a sign to waste any time I just stood there all day and I waved I waved to the cars, trucks, and busses I even waved to a homeless man pushing a cart I waved so much through out the day My wave it became expression art Many passersby honked their approval While some with a finger said I was #1 I waved and I waved till late in the day And yet felt I still wasn't done I had waved to all the daily commuters But what about those that only come out at night Just because they sleep late doesn't mean they should miss a good wave If you think about it that wouldn't be right So I stood there under the glow of the street lights Giving the night owls a taste of my wave Letting them know they're just as special As those that hang out in the day When my last wave said goodbye it was over I packed up my hand in my pocket in style I believe I'll come back to the corner tomorrow But this time I'll just stand there and smile
