Ice And More Ice Beware
Nobody Wants To Slip And Fall
Walking can be difficult
Sometimes impossible
I tried chipping away with an ice pick
Shoveling it with a good old metal shovel
We have to wait till the weather warms up
A neighbor we are not close to
His truck was stuck
The left front tire would spin
I could hear his motor race
When I got there he was trying to rock his truck back and forth
He tried sand and rock salt
The tire was in a hole
Ice on all sides
I brought over some rubber mats
Thinking they would give him a little traction
They kicked them up and out
The tires looked a little worn
So no matter what we tried it was no use
At least I tried
We have not been the best of friends
I threw all this aside
When your in a jam
You let things roll off your shoulders
I have been an his situation before
You just want to get on with your day
I left him no better off than when I came
He thanked me and I am glad I went to help
While I was there we made some small talk
We both knew at that moment
The most important thing is everyone in our families is safe and healthy
The little differences really don't matter
They make us who we are
Good or bad
Maybe we are a little of both
Mostly good that the other person before never had a chance to see
