The Stranger (poem)
A morning like all others but for this
An odd familiar stranger walked through town
Awakened interest no soul cared to frown
He knows something we dare not want to miss
-
Soon neighbors starting talking as they should
Once small town strangers, learned to make new friends
Discovering they walked toward common ends
An adventure with good friends this feels quite good
-
Eventually the party swept all in
The stranger led them up a coastal hill
Here now familiar town began to mill
We know this stranger with his saintly grin
-
Then from the evening sky a blazing star
It struck and all they left was torn away
With no one hurt clear miracle in play
This day could not get any more bizarre
-
A song of hope the friends now undertook
They all lost something less than they had gained
The one that saved them now attentions trained
He’s gone and all he left us was this book
