Today I’ll share a story with you
about a boy that never grew
for everybody loved him
except for one…who never had any fun.
The boy that never grew
went through his life giving him the shoo
because nobody liked him
the boy said,” I am way too cool for him.”
As life went on
the boy that never grew
had no more than a shoe,
for he used his shoe
to collect coins from crowds passing through,
and for the boy known as him
lived a life quite opposite of grim
for he was a millionaire
and had no thoughts of despair.
Then on one bright, sunny day
he found himself amongst
the crowds passing through
one after another
ignoring the man with the shoe.
As he approached
he recognized that poor little man,
gave him some coins
and shook his hand,
as he said, ” Thank you for making me who I am.”
