[hometext] => A friend I didn't know, gave me a gift...... I wish to share it with you
[bodytext] => Today I met a new friend, who blessed me with a smile I couldn't turn and walk away, we had to talk awhile I found we were a lot alike, with words we'd stopped to share We talked on many subjects, and he really seemed to care We laughed at many silly things, that happened in our life We shared an understanding, when the topic turned to strife I really couldn't help but think, he truly understood And sharing, with my new found friend, it made me feel quite good We had but just a minute, in our busy, hectic day And both had things, that must be done, yet paused here anyway Many rushed and passed us by, like busy little drones Gulping down their hurried drinks, and talking on their phones We shared a smile about that too, when my friend said to me "How can you live a happy life, and not enjoy a tree?" I turned and looked, and sure enough, I hadn't even seen The many trees, that lined the streets, and one right next to me! Suddenly, I realized, he'd given me a gift By pointing out what I had missed, it gave my soul a lift How many times I'd past this place, and even yet today And never even noticed trees, I'd passed along the way I realized my thoughtlessness, the things I took for spite Like something simple as a tree, that always missed my site Here among the concrete, and the busy, dirty, street I found a thing of beauty, and thought it really neat My friend moved on, but parted with a hand shake and a smile I noticed I was smiling, and had been all the while This stranger I had never met, had truly blessed my life I found I had forgotten of my hardships and my strife So I share with you this story, hoping it will help you too To try and find the beauty, in anything you do For when you pause, and look around, one thing comes quite clear It's not the destination, but the journey, to right here!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
