Selflessness

Leaves leaves falling from the trees

I bet it was because of the big breeze

I noticed the elderly people needed some help

Too bad nobody was there to call with a yelp

So I stopped what I was doing to see with what my heart felt

I found myself with my brother walking over to spare a hand

Considering the elderly people wouldn't understand

I tucked my sleeves and away I went

To find out how I felt like a champ

I put the bag full of leaves up on the curb

And to discover the trash man came without disturb

The leaves were gone in a blink of the eye

And deep down I knew I was a selfless guy
