and let it play its music for the people to hear,
never asking nor begging for anything in return.
Some took the time to stop and listen
before they move on with their own lives.
While others carelessly tossed their coins
as they pass me by.
Rain poured and the people started thinning out,
leaving me alone on the pavement
that I've come to know as home.
Then you walked by and saw me there
all freezing and shivering against the cold.
Without a word, you took out your scarf
and wrapped it around my quivering body;
And for the final touch,
left your black umbrella over me.
Unable to speak, I was not able to say
anything to you as you went on your way,
until you reached the corner of the street
with your raincoat flapping against the wind.
