A disabled car parked
On the side of the road
A truck driver pulls over
Going into helping hand mode
A cat meows from a tree
A small boy springs into action
The cat safe on the ground
From the boy’s concerned reaction
An elderly man falls
A woman runs to help him
On to his feet and alright
No broken limbs
The wind knocks over
A store’s outside display
A passerby picks it up
And continues on his way
A dog searches for his owner
The woman reads the collar tag
A phone call later
See the dog’s tail wag
‘Tis a fine thing we do
When we go out of our way
To help each other
And smile today
