Chapter 204 - The Stranger
The Stranger
If someone you didn't know
Came up to you and said
"I have a problem."
Would you listen?
Many would tell the stranger
To "leave me alone" or
"I don't care"
Are you one of these people?
Others would nod and smile
Until finally they would say
"I have to be going."
Are you one of these people?
I had a friend once
Who started as a stranger
I asked him for help
Do you know what he did?
He smiled, he nodded
He gave me good advice
Then he said,
"I have to be going now."
Now I see him in the street
He's standing by the corner
Whistling in the rain
Staring at the sky
His head comes down
He's staring at me
But he doesn't see me
Something's wrong.
I cross the street and ask
"Are you alright?"
He stares at me and says
"No. I'm in trouble."
So I listen
I think about his problem
I try to give advice, then ask
"Do you want me to stay?"
He smiles and says,
"I would like that."
His name was Despair;
He changed it to Hope.
