Miracle of the Yellow School Bus

I always enjoy at 4:15 PM No matter where I’ve been In my house Backyard living room kitchen The beep beep of the yellow school bus driver As he rolls away through the neighborhood With all those kids skipping jumping And running home to be happy The driver’s gentle toot toot reassuring them The world’s still kind How he makes the beep beep Sound silly and muffled I do not know But it’s quite a skill I think To find the will And the time to make That little gesture What a difference maker A pat on the back that lasts a lifetime Not only for all those wondrous kids But for all the broken pain-filled people Sad in their homes like you and me Looking for a lift just once a day From a yellow school bus driver Waving and saying It’s all ok See you tomorrow.
