Understanding Stranger

I'm unsure about so much

     and no one ever understands

But lately there's this person

     so selflessly lending a hand.



It's not like there's a reason,

     or agenda for being so kind

I'm truly just a stranger

     who would be easy to leave behind.



But he seems to be there

     when the days are dark

     and it's rough getting through the day

He offers the praises

     and comforting words

     that usually only best friends know how to say.



I'm thankful for the kindness

     from this man I hardly know

And maybe just a little scared

     the way he can look into my soul.



He's my understanding stranger

     with knowledge rare indeed

I hope he knows I'll be there for him

     in his time of need.



It's soothing to know there's someone

     who can relate to my written word

And see the things that live inside,

     which I thought only I had understood.



He's becoming a dear friend to me,

     although we've never met

And in my heart I sense this friendship

     will be one without regret.
