When You Are a Stranger

WHEN YOU ARE A STRANGER

      When you are a stranger, people seem strange!
       What a big deal!
       Feel your strength inherent,
        intense empathy to seek sympathy,
       being one of them at length.
                           
      Faces look ugly, when you are alone.
      Populace faces lose attraction as you travel aloof
      as lone fighter being prone to loneliness.
   
      When you are stranger, none cares to remember.
      Don’t bother, does not matter.
      Be friend, make friends:
     You will be honored, adored to be remembered,
      being welcomed by their community,
      enriched through your pleasing personality.

Mother's Day, a complete stranger in a pickup truck at a stop light signaled to me and I rolled down my window thinking he was going to tell me my tire needed air or something, and he just said he wanted to tell me Happy Mother's Day! I had my granddaughters in the back seat of the car. I thought it was a very nice gesture. I love the way you ended your poem Anisha. Best of luck in the contest. : ) xxoo Anisha Dutta May 16, 2019 at 8:20 AM So Nice an experience. Happy Mother's day. sometimes stranger appears as Angel. It happened to me.
