"STRANGER"
I saw a stranger on the street,
looking ragged and forlorn;
With cold and starving eyes,
Upon this Sunday morn.
My eyes filled with misty tears,
As I gazed upon this dismal sight.
And my heart felt the sorrow,
Of his awful plight.
Down on his luck. It was plain to see,
A creature of God.
less fortunate,
Than you and me.
people on the street passed him by,
With nary a glance his way,
As if seeing him would scorch there eyes.
And ruin the happiness of there day.
Then I went over to his side,
And reached into my pocket thin.
And extracted a few meager coins,
And gave them to him.
His eyes lit up with gratitude,
As he went along his way.
Enough perhaps for a meal or two,
And a bit of hope to face another day.

"Time gone by"
It seems so long,
Those days of youth.
When I bought a kiss,
From your kissing booth.
How beautiful you were,
When I first saw you there,
Looking all so grand,
At the county fair.
Looking back my lovely one,
How can I forget those moments of bliss.
Of bygone years,
And days I miss.
Now we have parted,
So far far away, my dear.
- From those good O days.
Of yesteryear.
