If We Met One Day... Poem by Rebecca Wiles

If we met in a park one day,
would you simply sit and stare?
Or would you sit and smile at me?
Or would you look past me like I wasn't there?

Would we have a pleasant conversation,
about the weather or news of the day?
Maybe we'd talk for a moment or an hour
and then simply walk away!

If we met on the street one day at a market place,
would you pick me out in a crowd of people,
or would I be just another face?
Would we walk past one another, like we were in a race?

If we met one day in a country far across the sea,
would you nod and look my way, and acknowledge me?
Perhaps we'd introduce ourselves and talk the night away.
I'd like to think we'd be friends,
If we met one day.....
