Ode to the kind First Bus Driver




Twas a nice Friday morning
The weather outside was beaconing
of a rare sunny day in winter

Time was short and even though
There was a cake
For a friend I needed to wrap
Grabbed I my rucksack
And bid my hubby to post the cake for me

Off I rushed outside the door
The bus would be there at the bus stop soon
And up the hill with might I ran

Halfway through the bus stop I spotted
The bus had come and soon will leave
Gathered all the strength I have
Doubled the speed of my tiny feet.

Slowly the bus started to roll off
The kind bus driver his attention I caught
Faintly I uttered for him to stop and wait

He surely was a kind old man
His kindness be blessed all the days of his life
For he pressed the brake to wait for me.

My heart a-pounding fast it was really deafening
In my chest I felt an agonizing pain
But my heart was filled
With thanksgiving a genuine
For the kind old man who's behind the wheel.

May his joys be multiplied
and all his kind deeds be blessed.
