Trudging along with aching feet
Over the pebble-strewn street
Dusty clothes, cracked lips
Colorful balloons for other kids.
Some take pity and buy
Some simply pass by
Few coins, fewer notes
That's how the day goes.
Festive spirit runs across
Others converge on bright shops
With colorful balloons, he awaits
A heart full of hope anticipates.
A little compassion and kindness
Can light up their happiness
Buying a balloon can make a difference
Like every drop together makes an ocean.
