One child 2 years old is lost
without a shoe in the street
traffic flowing
not missing a beat
Seen by one
running to save a life
another stopped to help
amid all the strife
A third person stops
calling the police
child standing with safe haven
sighing with relief
Another person stops
as we search for the child’s home
wanting to know how to help
the child is not alone
The police come
helping to figure it out
the child is calm
feeling safe and does not pout
Siblings arrive
rejoicing running up the street
the child had accidentally gotten out
following a dog with bare feet
People helping each other
not a thought given to religion or race
helping an innocent child
experience love instead of hate

Beautiful story!
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
You are most welcome.
Beautiful and loving story. And thankfully it is what happens when a child is lost. We are honed in on the bizarre and evil. There is still much good in the world. Thanks for this nice reminder.
Thank you. It is hard to remember some time that there is still much good in the world. You are welcome. Have a wonderful day!
