A Stranger No More

A stranger
Odd
Sad
Quirky
Unwelcome
Ignored
Once extended a courtesy
Cannot do enough
For her new friend
Stranger no more
Odd means unique
Sad is empathetic
Quirky translates to self-assured.
Unwelcome is ignored.
Best friends are born!

Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 9/15/2018 1:19:00 AM Yes, I learned that the hard way, too... Caren Krutsinger Date: 9/13/2018 7:13:00 AM I love having friends. I used to try to befriend everyone, however, I have learned when to give up and save myself now.

Sandra L. Weiss Date: 9/12/2018 5:35:00 PM How first impressions can in reality completely turn around, if given a chance. To become a good thing. A good lesson, simple, clever. Really like this, Caren. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 9/12/2018 6:22:00 PM Thank you Sandra. I cannot believe it myself but I have severely misjudged people the first time and often.

Michelle Faulkner Date: 9/12/2018 3:33:00 PM Love how you see the negative qualities as positives once you get to know the person - the last two lines, amazing! Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 9/12/2018 6:22:00 PM Thank you Michelle. I just gobble up my feelings and spit them onto the paper.
