Each day you see them
And maybe wonder about them.
Are they good?
Or are they bad?
You may just walk passed them
Not knowing who they are.
But those people are all around you,
Strangers?
You wonder who they are,
But strangers are friends,
Friends that you haven’t met yet.

A fine write Gold. Pity that Harold was a stranger. I befriended him in 1066, and look what happened!
That was just a fleeting meeting with a flight filled ending.
Friends they may well turn out to be. When I look at someone I don't know I feel quite detached - almost indifferent until I think: they probably have loved ones just like me, they probably have the same feelings just as I do, they may have health issues or financial worries. In other words they are no different to any of us. They are real people and deserve the same courtesies and consideration as any of us. We are all much the same. Cripes I'm getting all philosophical.
That philosophy of yours is so very true. I wonder how many of the strangers that we see would become good friends in different circumstances - after all we were all strangers to each other on this site and I know we do not know everything about each other we know a fair amount, so we have made friends with strangers on here.
Good Morning UNCLE ANDY : Nearly midnight here (NZ) just trawling MPS before I *hit the sack* (I love colloquialisms) ! Love AKER BILK (great name) and SOTS in particular molto soothing and conjures up wonderful images of Me each night waiting for *Brians Boot ta cum in* (Im getting maudlin again). Love the POEM and the concept : I think its a JIM REEVES song that says *A Stranger is a Friend youve never met* I love all My Friends on MPS : You all make it come alive for Me ! Sometimes one meets *Strangers on the Shore* on Holiday and they become Friends who one emails and mutual visits etc. I now have over 100 Friends in NZ : so so awesome !
Please check our POEM on USA Independence : THANKS
Blessings & peace to YOU & JOYCE
Your FRIENDS as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you Angela, of course I remember Stranger on the Shore when it first came out in 1962, great song that took the charts by storm.
Andy.
Yep, even in the cold war Sting voiced "I hope the Russians love their children too".... all of us everywhere are human with everyday needs and aspirations.
Though i do wonder if some of our multi-cultural comanions are quite as civilised as us english, scots, welsh and irish.
Desire to know others (or personal gains) is what encouraged humanity to venture out of its comfort zone, and today the whole planet is accessible to us.
