I'm listening

A Poem by JJ

I met a stranger once with sadness in his eyes I said how are you doing as I walked by he replied I have no worries I can't complain I have everything a man could want except fortune and fame I said that's nice and walked away that's when he yelled stop I have more to say.. He said what if we lived in a world where everyone looked the same no white or black just different names no blue eyes brown hazel or green no one would fall in love or so it seems no tall short heavy or thin everyone the same who would win..that's like living in a world with no colorful rainbow no snow capped mountains or flowers to grow... No Golden Gate Bridge no Eiffel Tower in France not even paintings of Michael Angelo to admire and glance the stranger said I express these thoughts and my words are true cause beauty comes from within and it starts with you so it doesn't matter if you're tall short heavy or thin beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that's how we win so when you look in the mirror smile and say I'm a beautiful person cause god made me this way... So be happy with yourself and don't ever Change cause we could live in a world where everyone looks the same... I looked at my watch and told the stranger I had to go he replied thanks for listening it meant a lot I hope you know I feel so much better with a smile I haven't had anyone to listen for a while he said you can go now my heart is clearer I told the stranger good bye and stepped away from the mirror..........
