Yesterday I met a stranger…
Today this stranger is my friend.
Had I not taken the time to say
Hello, or return a smile, or shake a hand, or listen,
I would not have known this person.
Yesterday would have turned into today,
And our chance meeting would be gone.
Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me.
Today they are gone… and tomorrow will not bring them back.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we all knew tomorrow they would be here?
But this is not to be, so take the time TODAY to give a hug, a smile, and say “I love you.”
