Crossing Guard - June 6, 2025

your job is to greet

and escort anyone across

the street during school hours

paid to be friendly and helpful

say hello and wish everyone

excellent days

you might guess what

I’m gonna say next

we need more crossing guards

posted in places the lonely and

disconnected walk, with hours

from dawn till dusk

and you know how you walk

lighter when people see

the good in you
