Dear stranger,

I’m just another human being
With no tangible connection to you
But I happen to be wondering
What is it like from your point of view?

And while you’re reading this poem
We might be thousands of miles apart
But distance doesn’t present a problem
When poetry is what connects our hearts

We may not have much in common
Though you never really know
We may share a similar passion
As well as the same sorrows

So tell me something, stranger
How’s life been treating you lately?
I hope that whatever the answer
This poem leaves you smiling brightly

Someday we may meet each other on the street
That day, I know my life will be complete

Yours truly, anonymous
