A STRANGER IS A FRIEND
WHEN I SAID "HI",
TO A STRANGER
THAT I HAD MET
TODAY-
I NEVER THOUGHT
ABOUT THE PART
WHICH I WAS GOING
TO PLAY.
THIS STRANGER
KEPT ME STANDING THERE
AND HE SOON BEGAN
TO CRY,
HE SAID THAT
I HAD STOPPED
WHEN OTHERS JUST
WENT BY.
HE SAID MY SMILE
JUST CAME TO HIM
LIKE A WARM CARESS-
IT GAVE NEW HOPE
AND JOY IN
LIFE, AND CAUSED
MUCH HAPPINESS.
HERE WAS A SOUL
WHOSE LONELY HEART,
WAS ACHING FOR
SOME CARE
I'M GLAD THAT
GOD HAD USED
ME, TO ANSWER
HIS ONE PRAYER.
AND NOW EACH DAY
I PUT IN USE
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
SO FAR-
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT YOU
HAVE, OR EVEN
WHO YOU ARE.
TO BE A WILLING
INSTRUMENT
TO SPREAD SOME
CHEER AROUND,
FOR A "SMILE"
IS LIKE AN ECHO
THAT EVENTUALLY
WILL RESOUND.
