I made a friend today <br />He's a short black guy <br />with little arms and little legs <br />He rides in a wheelchair <br />He came up to me <br />Talking to me like a friend <br />I could sure use one right now <br />He seems happy and full of life <br />Despite his handicap <br />He's enjoying every minute <br />It makes me think about my problems <br />Maybe I don't have it so bad <br />I wish he could walk one day <br />His advice, don't feel so sad <br />He listened to every word I would say <br />Worried that I might do myself harm <br />He reached in his pocket <br />and gave me a nickel for good charm <br />He was running late, he couldn't stay <br />I said thanks and bye <br />As I watched him roll away.<br /><br />Victor Osorio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/keep-rolling/
