A kid by the wall...

A lonely kid stands

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.
