Beautiful Strangers

A Poem by Melissa Kester

In another world
In a far off place
Is a stranger with kindness
And beauty and grace
A lonesome young man
Not burdened by grief
With a smile as radiant
As the sun on the reef
He wanders alone
Though not heavy hearted
He knew she was somewhere
Still undeparted
He didn't know when
Or how long it might be
But this beautiful stranger
He knew he would meet

In another place
In a far off world
A beautiful woman
With her heart unfurled
She didn't know why
Or how she believed
But deep in her heart
She knew it to be
There exists a man
With bravery and strength
He is handsome and kind
And has waited at length
For her to be his
She knew she could wager
That soon she would meet
This beautiful stranger
