Christmas in Chicago

August 30, 2013

It was Chicago of 2009,
When I heard something from behind

Turning around, I saw a young man and his little boy;
I wondered why he had no toy

It appeared to me that he was poor,
I could also tell by the clothes he wore

Standing there, he gave me a holler,
So I went on over and gave him a dollar

Walking away, with a tear in my eye,
Imagining the pain they felt inside

That Christmas Day, I learned a life lesson.
It was," It's other people you should be blessin'."
