I’d Rather Be Like Him (poem)
I‘d rather be a lot like him
He always has some time to share
You need an ear he’s always there
And there’s his smile it’s never dim
-
A call for help he’s first to stand
His eyes see only hope and good
Not lost in things misunderstood
His every act so smooth and grand
-
To him they turn yes one and all
What wonders will come from his hat
And can they have a part of that
He smiles for them and dares not fall
-
So many people’s lives he changed
He showed them how to do the same
While they took pictures for their frame
For them his life was rearranged
-
Through all it’s him I’d rather be
Not here alone trapped with my thought
This lonely soul that’s bound too taut
The real live person they can’t see
