Stangers Among Us Poem by Jennifer Panner

we all walk through life searching for something that can never be found
we look into the faces of others and fear them
its becuase we fear the unknown
i have come to a time in my life that i have found
that the people that wont hurt you are the people that you dont know
take a look at the world around you
tell me what you see
in a store you see somone who smiles
in a passing car you see someone wave
at work you see the people that you dont know their names
those are the people who wont hurt you
the ones that no matter what you do they will still wave and smile
but without knowing their names and without knowning them
you can never find the true thing that will make you happy
you have to find the people where you do learn there names
for within a name and within a past you can find love
and without love whats the point in living?
