Poetic Verses
The Stranger
Across the street I can see
a dark shadow in my view.
I watch him looking around
not sure of what to do.
I SEE THE STRANGER
The sight of him brings me fear,
I keep my distance and my hand.
A wanderer of a dark alley,
a quiet person walking the land.
I FEAR THE STRANGER
Nobody stops to help him,
nor do they trust this lonely guy.
A voice that is never heard
no, "Hello!" or no "Goodbye!"
AVOID THE STRANGER
I think of my own problems
and the struggle I've been through.
Compassion brings me forward
to the days that I once knew.
I UNDERSTAND THE STRANGER
In every greeting there is risk
and I don't know him well.
There is a good side to all men
and a story they can tell.
CAUTIOUS AROUND THE STRANGER
I greet him with a smile
and get to know his name.
We walk and talk as friends
in the park, at a baseball game.
FRIENDS WITH THE STRANGER
We stand on common ground,
and I know that we will wed.
I am happy with this man
that is always in my head.
IN LOVE WITH THE STRANGER
He's not a wandering stranger
and my attraction is a sign.
The relationship is going great
and my wedding went just fine.
MARRIED TO MY SOULMATE
a dark shadow in my view.
I watch him looking around
not sure of what to do.
I SEE THE STRANGER
The sight of him brings me fear,
I keep my distance and my hand.
A wanderer of a dark alley,
a quiet person walking the land.
I FEAR THE STRANGER
Nobody stops to help him,
nor do they trust this lonely guy.
A voice that is never heard
no, "Hello!" or no "Goodbye!"
AVOID THE STRANGER
I think of my own problems
and the struggle I've been through.
Compassion brings me forward
to the days that I once knew.
I UNDERSTAND THE STRANGER
In every greeting there is risk
and I don't know him well.
There is a good side to all men
and a story they can tell.
CAUTIOUS AROUND THE STRANGER

and get to know his name.

and my attraction is a sign.
The relationship is going great
and my wedding went just fine.
MARRIED TO MY SOULMATE
