You drive a bus you say?
Yes, I do it for the children every day.
Why, with all the jobs there are?
Well, quite frankly, for me it's the best by far!
How can I explain it to you?
I guess the truth will have to do!
It won't be easy, but I'll try
To explain the reasons why.
You see these children are incredible to me,
even though you find that hard to see.
Each one is an addition to my day,
in a unique and special way.
Personalities as different as they can be but
they need attention,
just like you and me.
Some come with smiles, some with frowns,
some with anger and some act just like clowns!
Being a bus driver is almost like being Mom and Dad.
Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes sad,
sure I can even get mad.
We've reached their stop, a smile
and way and they're on their way.
Anxious to share at home what happened in their world today.
I love being a small part of their life day in and day out,
my job is about them no doubt!
It's a pleasure for me to see them all,
the big, the small, the short and tall.
Their ages span the years,
kindergarten to eighth grade to be clear.
Every child, my child, each one very dear.
My life is more complete having them near.
Have you ever had a child tell you they
love you or give you a hug,
just because you made them feel safe and snug?
Well, then, now you understand why I drive that bus,
it's for the children, for me, it's all about "us".
