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"
