This poem is one I made for a stranger I met along the beach. I was so fed up at that time with all that was happening with my life, it was 3 o'clock in the morning, and I just felt that I had to have someone to talk to. I couldn't confide with someone I know 'coz things might just get worse and I may get biased opinion or advice, for the friend I might talk to may either side with me or the other party. So I decided to look for a stranger to talk to. I got lucky because the one I got to talk to turned out to be good at giving advices. We finished at the exact moment when the sun was just rising. I remember that time, I was so absorbed with our conversation that the very moment she said her final words of advice, I was surprised by the beautiful sight of the sun in front of us. We instantly became friends at that moment, and though we never got to see each other again, I got her address and sent her a painting with this very poem in it.
ONE STRANGER, ONE FRIEND
Once upon a time, I met a stranger
Who, upon one dark day of my life has been my savior
That day, I was broken and my heart was shattered
This person helped me, though others wouldn't have bothered
A stranger still, but a friend at heart
That's how it began, that magical start
I felt alone that time, so betrayed
But she cared to listen, 'till sunrise she stayed
God showed me that even if it's dark at night
Another day will come, a new friend will shed the light
