There was a young boy
Who wandered by
Peering into the window
As we wondered why
30 minutes or so went by
Standing all alone outside
We finally asked if he was ok
He said he was lost along the way
We brought him inside, out of the rain
He was so grateful, kept saying thanks
He called his mom, who was in New York
Come to find out, he was just lost
His counselor was looking for him, he wandered out on his own
We gave him some water and a slice of pizza of course
They came to get him, asked “how much does he owe?”
I simply relied “ nothing at all”
We took care of him and kept him safe
We made him happy and put a smile on his face
Before they left he came up to me
He said “ My name is Jermaine, I just want to thank you... you have no idea how much that means to me, thank you so much for taking care of me...”
It may not seem much to some of you
But for us tonight, a small act of kindness, really rang true
