A MEETING BY CHANCE

Hello, said the stranger
to the passerby
Hello, replied the passerby
to the passing stranger
 
Thus the conversation began
Between the unknown two...
The stranger and the passerby
Tho neither knew why
 
But each was heartened
By the words that flowed
And each began to like the other
More and more
 
Strange, thought the passerby
Touched by the kindness of the words
That the stranger gave so freely
And yet so very willingly
 
You see me clearer, than folks I know
Said the passerby to the stranger
The stranger's answer was a smile
It met tears from the passerby's eyes
