HEART OF A BUS DRIVER

Over the hill and down the street

Old friends to see and new faces to greet.

Your stop is at the end of the street !

Sit straight in your seat and please don't eat.

Who are you and what's your name ?

I may or may not want to play your game.

" I'm the driver of this bus and responsible for all of us.

The game I play is like baseball "THREE STRIKES YOUR OUT"

Now let me explain what bus riding is all about.

Good Morning my dears, keep your voices

down I need to hear.

Please sit down and stay seated so I

Can see all the dangers coming near.

Don't put anything out that window not even your ear.

When you look at the doom and see the light on

Don't act like you don't know what's going on.

And put away your cell phone.

"If you don't write me up this time I'll be your best friend"

They say with an angelic grin.

If you can be good for a week I'll think about it then.

Maybe you and I will be friends.

Ut Oh ! Their starting to get under your skin.

Then comes December, and for no rhyme or reason you begin to worry

about being on time to keep them from freez'n

I'M sure it's just because of the holiday season.

They come with candles, cups with funny handles and

Your favorite cookies and cakes.

I bet from here out you wait a while when their running late

It's great how they worm and squirm their way into your heart

And make it very hard at the end to part.

Some people think this is just another job, a way to make money.

Yes, their right it's that, and a lot more !

Your making a difference each day when you drive a bus.

You're the sunshine that starts their day,

By picking them up and taking them on their way.

You get their hugs and smiles as they say

"Good Morning Mr. or Ms. Bus Driver."

May God Bless and guide you along your special way

As you make a difference in the lives of our most precious cargo
everyday

YES !

A "BUS DRIVER" is what you are, and

THAT MAKES YOU VERY SPECIAL BY FAR !!
