Poem
I met this stranger the other day.... I met a stranger just the other day, Wandering the halls, in a hospital’s way. My mind was spinning, feeling so low, But this kind soul made my troubles go. Gave me comfort with a heart of gold, Words like magic, warmed me from the cold. Cheered me up, just bein' kind, An hour late ‘cause I was cryin’, lost in my mind. Kindness can surprise, catch you unaware, But let it in, if their soul’s laid bare. This stranger helped me in the night, Their kindness a beacon, shining bright. I’m in a happy love, with feelings so true, Talkin’ ‘bout my loved ones, tears just flew. Their love and support, my solid ground, But speakin' of them, tears came down. Sometimes you need someone when you're feelin’ low, A soul to lift you up, let your spirit glow. This stranger gave an hour, showin' they cared, Listenin' to my story, knowin' they were there. No matter the sex, male or female, Who cares about labels, let them prevail. If they’ve got a good soul, that's what counts, Inside is where true worth mounts. Even bought my book, 'Fate is Inexorable, Fighter Mode', Such a big heart, on this heavy road. Hope we meet again, not to be estranged, This stranger’s kindness, my thoughts rearranged. So there I was, jarred back, feelin' pain, Stranger came out to the pourin' rain. Asked if I was okay, seemed surreal, I was thinkin' the same, in a dream so real. Met this stranger just the other day, Helped me out, listened to what I had to say. I spoke incoherently, they stayed true, Hung on every word, before we said adieu. Unexpected moments, caught me off guard, Hate cryin' in front of folks, it’s so hard. In my wheelchair, feelin' three feet tall, Talkin’ to a stranger, emotions did fall. As we parted ways, I felt a glow, A stranger's kindness, now I know. In a world so cold, they brought the heat, With their big heart, made me feel complete. Thank you, stranger, for the time you gave, Your kindness and care, the way you stayed. In this life’s journey, we crossed paths, Now my heart feels the warmth that lasts.
