Lean On Me (A Mother's Love)

This morning I was listening to ‘Lean On Me’ by Bill Withers. I was walking around the city discovering new places and I got lost. I was so absorbed in the song that when I came to my senses I realized I was standing in a street that I have never been before, somewhere away from all the familiar shops. Just in front of me was a local park with some benches here and there. It was nothing extraordinary except that the morning sunlight looked really beautiful. I decided to go there and sit down on one of the benches for a while. A few kids were playing cricket with no shoes, everything else was silent.A while later one of the kids tripped and broke his nose. I was about to go and help him out when out of sudden this woman (I believe it was his mother) came rushing in with an expression of such rage and worry in her face.
