Selflessness
The bike ride was long and it started to get hot
One of us said this was a good place to stop
We hopped off our bikes and chained them up
To figure out the stop was an ice cream hut
Hot became humid as the sun fell behind the horizon
I counted some stars there must have been a dozen
We ran to the line with cheer and delight
As all of us were so hot and ready for a great night
We placed our orders and we gave them the rest of our money
And they all came out and it became real funny
My friend dropped his napkin and bent down to pick it up
When his ice cream quickly fell along with his drink in his cup
I looked at mine and back at his
And felt as if I didn't need mine as much as his
His eyes were frozen while his ice cream quickly melted
I took action and gave him mine in the second
He looked up in surprise
To only find it was alright
I felt all proud
I knew I was a selfless man and in my head I bowed
