Hello

So many people I see walking down the street

Head hanging down, shuffling their feet

No smiling faces as I pass them by

No friendly hello, or even “Hi”

So I took the time to say “Hello


To someone I didn’t know

I saw a gleam come in their eye

And a little smile as I passed them by

I gave a gift and it was free

I gave a little part of me

Just a smile

A quick hello

To someone that I didn’t know
