walking slowly admiring the view i notice a lone child he stands at the waters edge staring out across the lake so forlorn so alone so sad my heart reaches out to him sometimes strangers in our midst call out to us waiting for the bus i noticed a young pretty girl all alone sitting on the bench with tears streaming down her face she turned looked at me with such sadness in her eyes i took a stroll through the park to enjoy the warm fall day an old woman slowly walked past me eyes cast down i turned to watch her noticing the painful stoop of her back how many times do we see such lonely people along our way sadness following them as they go we pass without notice dilemmas shadowing their existence never any relief every day it is these moments i feel at such a loss not knowing what to say lost in my own world with my own concerns never seeing others is there nothing i can do to forget my own problems to ease theirs sometimes strangers in our midst call out to us Vote for this poem
