A Kid By The Wall
all alone by the wall
as others pass by
on their way thru the hall.
He never speaks out -
just waits for his class.
Not daring to talk
unless he is asked.
Meeting new friends -
how hard will he try?
He would like to reach out
but he is lonely and shy.
If you want to help out -
in a very simple way -
a quiet "Hello"
is all you need say.
But if nobody cares
as they pass in the hall
he will always remain
a lonely kid by the wall.
