We never know what lives we touch
as we go lightly by
perhaps there is a passing glance
where eye encounters eye.
A smile, a simple friendly look
can seem like an embrace
and a day's mood is altered by
a single stranger's face.
Our lives, which seem our property
are public, one might say
as they meet up with other lives
today and every day.
Very true!! The more reason to be careful. Margie you're on a real roll, keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteMargie..so true even just a smile can make someones day brighter. how do you come up with these lines.they are so good. you are so talented.
ReplyDeleteIt's the little things like these, as simple as a stranger's smile which makes are days better. Some people don't even notice these things---but you do. I'm impressed. :)
ReplyDeleteMargie, i love this one!
ReplyDeleteyou really are on a roll!

ReplyDeleteVery very true
ReplyDeleteMargie, hope you had fun in Denver. Did you find the book you were lookin for?
ReplyDeleteVery nice poem. Very true. It is weird that strangers make such a difference to our lives even if it is a smile or a nice word but at the same time we take our loved ones for granted...
very well-written! Our lives that we claim as our property is not really our's w.o. being touched by and touching another.

ReplyDeleteI did have a nice time.
Thank you!
Found some books and visited a friend.
You know... you are so very right..
strangers can make a difference
in our lives... but at the same time, we do take our loved ones
for granted. I try my very best not to do that though.
