Scarlette Howard Poet Free verse

A Strangers Message( Thank You)

I was looking through my mail today 
and stumbled across great words of inspiration
little words, short words , powerful words mighty meaning.
Sweet words like honey comb running through my veins

I took a moment to listen, to reflect, to understand
these kind gestures that a stranger whispered to my heart
your kindness have inspired me
your words will stay with me forever

These are the words we depend on to comfort 
and motivate our soul
Thank you for being that stranger I could rely on.

Carrie Richards March 9, 2009 at 8:00 PM What a beautiful poem, and you expressed the wonderful emotions I often feel while reading some small kind word in the little comment box. No one can even describe how warming it is, especially on a difficult day, to have the hands of kindness reaching through the computer screen. Bless the kind friends we have made here. Nicely written Patricia. ~ love, Carrie
