To a Stranger
When I was down-
When I was kicked
And did nothing,
You stood up for me
And you didn't even
Know me.
You didn't even
Know my name.
You chastised
Your own friends-
For me.
You helped me up,
Apoligized for them.
You even risked
The relationship
With your girlfriend
Because her friend
Thought it would be funny
To put me down.
You never asked
For anything in return.
You just wanted
To make sure I was alright.
You made her
Leave me alone
(For the most part).
We never spoke again,
But I assure you
I did not forget
What you did, and
How you made the difference
In my life.
If only I could repay you-
Thank you stranger.
