Little Red Wagon Page #9

But do you know why?

Because you love him more

than me, you always have.

That's where

you're wrong, Kel.

I treat him better

because I learned how.

And I learned it

messing up with you.

I admit it.

I messed up.

It was on the job training

and I didn't know what I

was doing half the time.

I still mess up with Zach.

Sometimes I feel like

I'm just barely hanging on...

I don't know

what you want from me.

I'm sorry.

I know that's not enough.

It breaks my heart

to see you in pain,

and knowing that I am the

cause of it makes it even worse.

Please, hear me.

I'm sorry.

(SOBBING) It's...

It's too late.

It is?

Um...

Well...

Then I guess you better

take the van.

I don't want

you hitching.

But what about

you and Zach?

Um, we have the RV.

And tomorrow?

Um, we'll manage.

Mom.

Did you ever think about doing

something just for yourself?

Cut me and Zach

a little bit of slack?

(SNIFFLES)

But I'm very happy

with you kids.

All I've ever wanted

was a family.

You be safe.

(SOFTLY) Zach, come here.

Come here, darling.

I never told you this.

But when you were

just a baby and...

I was first a mom

with you kids...

We, uh...

We were in bad shape.

I was in bad shape.

We didn't wind up

homeless, but, um...

We came real, real close.

I was as frightened as

I've ever been in my life.

I was scared to death.

And I look at those moms

and their kids,

and I know that

could have been us.

What you're doing here,

it touches me, Zach.

In ways

I can't even explain.

I am so proud of you.

And I'm so glad I get

to help you with this.

So, let's you and me

finish this, okay?

Let's go help those kids

and then we'll go home,

we'll fix our own problems.

All right?

Come on, buck up.

Tomorrow's the big day.

Think about all you've

accomplished here.

You did it, Zach.

You did it.

(BELL RINGING)

(SIREN WAILING)

Mom.

I see her.

(SOBBING)

I'm glad you came back.

Took our first step together.

We're gonna take

our last step together.

# Close your eyes

# Remember when

# Your first

little wagon came

# Shiny new and red

# And your daddy pulled you

around and around

# You felt so loved

You felt so proud

# Now open up your eyes

and you will see

# Children waiting

for the love they need

# So reach out your hand

# And change the world

# Make this promise

to every boy and every girl

# Reach out your hands

# We will change the word

# One little red wagon

# At a time

# Each one loved

Not left alone

# Fills their eyes

with light and hope

# And all these children

they belong to you and I

# They're yellow and brown

# They're red

and black and white

# So reach out your hand

and change the world

# Make this promise

to every boy and every girl

# Reach out your hands

we will change the world

# One little red wagon

# One little red wagon

# One little red wagon

# At a time
