Yesterday I met a stranger...

Today this stranger is my friend.

Had I not taken the time to say Hello,
or return a smile,
or shake a hand,
or listen,
I would not have known this person.

Yesterday would have turned into today
and our chance meeting would be gone.

Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me.

Today they are gone...

and tomorrow will not bring them back.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew
tomorrow would be here?

But this is not to be,
so take the time TODAY

to give a hug,
a smile,
an "I LOVE YOU."
