Yesterday I meet a stranger
Today this stranger is my friend.
Had I not taken the time to say Hello,
 or return a smile,
 or shake a hand,
 or listen.
I would not have known this person.
Yesterday would have turned into today
and our chance metting would be gone.
Yesterday I hugged someone very dear
to me.
Today they are gone...  and tomarrow
will not bring them back.
Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew
tomarrow would be here?
But this is not to be, so take the time
Today
to give a hug, a smile; an "I Love You"
just for today
smile at a stranger,
listen to someone's heart
drop a coin where a child can find it,
learn something new ,
then teach it to someone,
tell someone you're thinking of them,
hug a loved one,
don't hold a grudge,
don't be afriad to say I'm sorry,
look at a child in the eye and tell them
how great they are.
Don't kill that spider in your house,
It's just so lost show it the way out. 
Look beyond the face of a person into
their heart,
Make a promise and keep it.
Call someone,
for no other reason than to just say Hi,
Show kindness to an animal,
Stand up for what you beieve in.
Smell the rain
feel the breeze
listen to the wind
Use all your senses to their fullest
Cherish all todays.

Sometimes strangers can be more sympathetic if there is a person crying or in need.

5 or so years ago I was walking (running) my border collie at a nearby lake that was drained for the winter.  I saw a person out in the lake bed with a black and white dog and I yelled out to her on impulse "Are you my neighbor" and she yelled back "Maybe".  Well, she wasn't my neighbor but we struck up a conversation, exchanged phone numbers, made a doggie play date and now we are just the best of friends.  That day we met she had just lost her husband about 6 months prior to meeting me and she later told me our friendship has been a godsend in her life.  How cool is that!

I love this poem because, On august 21 1998, I went to my friends house across the street from me, to drink some coffee, and there was a young man, not to good looking, but I said hello and shook his hand, and this guy is my soul mate ever since.( 11yrs.) ago......

That is so nice, anitarae.  One finds friends when they are open to it.
Lucy, lucky you.  Right place, right time, right people

Im more than glad, Im greatful to God that he placed him in my path.  Because to tell you the truth i wasn't looking for a relationship, I've been alone for about six month and was determine, to stay that why for the rest of my living days. After 3 bad marrages. But, Wil, was determine to show me that all men are not alike. And like I said that was 11 years ago, and still madly in love.
Lucy
