Theme: Change: The Positive Side

I was walking alone

on the old rusty road 

when something made me laugh and cry

as it pulled away my load

A guy sitting at the riverside

throwing breadcrumbs to the birds

like he had no other

care in the world

He seemed as poor and simple as me

but there was one difference to behold

He worried not about the crisis

and sat there, warm, not cold

He taught me a thing or two, that man

and though I never saw him again

he remained a stabilizer during my change

and the credit of this me goes to him

as he showed me the positive side
