UNEXPECTED BEGINNING

Some time passed by me,
More than you’re thinking,
But here I’m waiting,
Then you just appear.

I was lost in thought,
Thinking about life,
The choices I made,
Or the ones slipped by.

Waiting for a friend,
Who never showed up,
Leaving me alone,
Still lost in my thoughts.

Suddenly, a stir,
I heard close by me,
It was your presence,
And your gentle voice.

Your very first words,
“Good morning to you!”
Startled me in place,
Then ready to run.

But for some reason,
I was comforted,
Unexpectedly,
Then, I replied back.

This odd beginning,
Of a life friendship,
Gifted from Heaven,
Forged amongst unknowns.
