Tears that would not stop!

Standing at a traffic light

On a cold and frosty night

 

Seeming from a land far

A boy tiptoed to my car

 

His clothes were tattered

And face seemed battered

 

Barefooted he walked

Little fingers knocked

 

Silent was his feeble stare

His misery I could not bear

 

The light became green

I had to leave the scene

 

His face I could not forget

An ordeal huge I was beset

 

My limbs became numb

My mind became dumb

 

Then spilled drop by drop

Tears that would not stop!
