Parking Lot
Has it ever occurred to you
as often occurs to me
That person in the parking lot
was simply meant to be?
Think about this logically, ponder very hard;
that person parked next to you
could be lonely, sad, even scarred
long for company too
she may be pondering suicide
or even a little romance
the point for one to realize
it may not be by chance
it could be Divine providence
it could be fate askew
but if one walks away alone
one may never chance renew
a simple greeting thrown their way
a look, a smile, a wink
could change their whole perspective
could really make them think
that life’s not meant to be this lonely
nor to be spent alone
they could be looking for a sign
just longing to be shown
so next time when you park your car
and notice next to you
a person coming or going
just ask them “how are you?”
