DOING GOOD!

They say "do unto others, as you'd have
done unto you--" so, I set off to donate,
taking only my old shoes.

My boss, to help the city, gave us a workday off--
I'm not sure what he thought that I could do, I loudly scoffed!

But, I hit the homeless shelters looking for the hero seat--
I'm not quite certain why, but I served hot food to eat!

Then a man spied my old shoes, with longing in his eyes--
I handed them to him, and stood staring while he cried!

My boss proved to be right-this was a diamond in the rough
to help those silent others who have their lives so tough!
