Stranger

You.

Yes you.

Reading this now.

I am nothing but a stranger to you,

And you are nothing but a stranger to me.

But I know a few things about you...

You're reading this right now and I can tell at least one of your thoughts....

"How do they know anything about me?"

That's one thing I know about you.

The second is that you have taken the time to read this far.

Stop reading now, it's boring...

You don't listen, I said stop reading...

You dare devil! That's number 3, that you don't follow directions,

Not all the time anyway... But that's good.

Sometimes the rules prevent us from doing something right.

Four: You, like I, have had hardships in life.

Am I correct? Of course I am.

Are you even alive if you haven't had hardships?

This is five. You want to feel peace.

May I tell you a secret stranger, my new friend?

If you want to feel peace, let go of your grudges and forgive.

Lastly, You've made it this far in life and you can make it farther.

I know you can. You're stronger than you know, even when you feel weak and alone.

So forgive those who've wronged you, let those who love you in, and smile.

Thank you for not listening and reading all the way through.
