Thank You Stranger

That lonely old man still hopeful in his sixtieS Helped those in need basking in soft divine lighT A blessed kind heart with gracious everlasting ardoR Nourished the roots of his soul drenched in panaceA Kernels of abundant gratitude bloomed in his heaveN Yet he was touched by floating tides of tears glisteninG One warm day, when a kid stopped stuttering with a smilE Uttered his first continuous phrase, "Thank You StrangeR" June 21, 2020 THANKS-ACROSTIC Poetry Contest Sponsor: Beata Agustin ~Winner: 1st Place
