Surrounded By People And Yet Alone Poem by Herbert Dry

A stranger tried to revive her but to
no avail
A stranger stopped to help but all
efforts failed

Surrounded by people and yet so
alone
She had no place to go no place
to call home

Looking up into a strangers face her
life slipping away
She reached out a trembling hand will
you a few moments
stay

There was no one there but a stranger
no one else to care
No family or friend only a stranger
to wipe away tears

She had lived surrounded by people but
only a stranger to watch
her die
Many people seen her the same looked
and walked
on by

It was just a moment so brief in the
strangers life
From her bleeding body he gently
removed the knife
