It was a cloudy cold day in November
Im questioning why I left Arizona weather
And chose to work this week
in cold ass Denver

I went to work like every day before
To help some kids
Raise money so they don’t hurt themselves

Secretly I wonder how do I preach mental health
If I’m so unstable myself
And then I realized oh yeah
Weve got to help them
not end up with crippling depression

So I stayed outside
Even in the snow
I told myself if I stay in the cold
Ill have a bigger blessing to come

This man walked out of jersey mikes
In a suit with a smile
He didn’t want a pitch
Just to donate, and lets be honest
A juicy tax receipt

I looked him in the eyes
and asked him for a thousand dollars
He handed me his card and said run it fast
I’ve got a job to get back to

Shaking and shocked
How does that just happen
That wasn’t the first time
And it wasn’t the last

We are often told that people suck
And working at Starbucks really sealed that envelope
But when I’ve realized how generous some are
With no second thought
I am thankful for the beautiful humans we have in society
Weather you can read it on their face or not

On a cold cloudy day in November
Snowing, terrible, denver weather
I saw a bright soul so bold
That I could no longer feel the cold
From the warmth grown in my soul
