Stranger? - Quadruple Nonet








See!

Watch him,!

This Stranger!

A foreigner,

Keeps looking at me

And discerns precisely

What I long to hear so much;-

Speaks to me exactly the words

That I need to hear to carry on,-











Just too fantastic to believe it, -

There is much more than  meets the eye;

The strange fellow looks at me

With piercing awareness,!

And smiles knowingly

At my deep needs,

And knows them,

How come?

Lo!







Yes!

Today

It happened,

Hard to believe!

This unknown stranger

Came up and spoke to me

Words I longed so much to hear,

That no one else had yet pronounced,

But kept ringing deeply in my heart,







Would a MAN be able so speak so?-

Sweetness and comfort enwrapped me,

Strangers sure know how to speak,-

Tenderness, warmth and peace,

With the assurance,

All will be well;

Love you so!

Praise the

Lord!
