The Producer

The Producer sadly shakes His head

As His guest gets up to leave

Because there was still much to be said

More of the tale to weave

Though He worked long and hard on this tale

A brand new show to premier

If the watcher now wanted to bail

Up to this point the film was bland

The story standard and mundane

It was leading up to something grand

A random chapter picked would show

A hospital ward full of joy

A yeshiva filled with bright young men

Learning each and all day long

Their studies supported yet again

By the saved boy, now rich and strong

At the weekly Shabbos table

Their family content, happy and stable

A great-grandchild 100 years hence

May cure the common cold

If we saw the full tale unfold

Another descendent, a less famous one

With an important role to play

Picks up schoolkids on his morning run

And drives them home again each day

Which is what he prefers

With the kindness he confers

The last clip shows a child in a scary place

Lost in a large and busy crowd

He turns; you see he has your face

So many faces go spinning past

Like snowflakes in a storm

In a world so chilly and so vast

The ones you know can keep you warm

The present is just one small piece
