I stepped on a water puddle and looked down.
My heart-shaped face seemed frozen into a frown.

A little girl walked by and touched my hand,
Then I smiled, and started to understand.

My world is a lonely one in a good day,
And if I ever tried to change it... I couldn't say.

To my left was a man with his head between his legs
He needed money to buy his family at least a dozen eggs.

No luck had he, no one gave him a dime.
An older fellow he was, no longer on his prime.

To my right stood a single mom
Never have I ever seen someone look so alone.

I got tired of all the depressive crap
And finally, oh finally, I began to act.

I gave the girl a big smile,
The man a couple bucks,
The woman a pat in the back
For me I bought socks.

Water had gotten into my shoes...
