Short little man in a pink shirt
In front of my bus jumping out of his
Oversized pickup truck
Just another roadside jerk
Thinking about his problems
While pressing his luck
Gum chewing housewife driving a jeep
Blocking all traffic in the middle of the street
I honk – she flips me the bird
And calls me a creep
I smile and go round and wave as I do
Another day on the Q18
I have people to move
A typical day of the job
Treating everyone as they should be
It’s not all that bad still after 14 years
But driving the bus in Astoria NYC
Is still a thrill a second
Because anything can happen
And usually does…

I am the man you helped last week get to lag. airport do you remember it was this past Wednesday? I witnessed all the joy on the peoples faces as you greeted them and announced the upcoming stops. In a world as unstable as the one we live in along with all the suffering we have to endure in our daily grind, you managed to put a smile on all the passengers faces. All thought my 30 minute journey I saw stony faces transformed one by one. A remarkable site to have seen. Please keep it up. I pray you can still put your life problems to the side for the betterment of others. An example of Christ like behavior for us all. I am challenged to do the same
