Welcome stranger of kindness
So tender and mildly meek,
It is you, that I have searched for,
It's your friendship, that I seek.

In a distant far off place,
Or in a corner, closely by,
Your wisdom and your humor,
Makes me laugh and makes me sigh.

There is still a part of you,
That is burried deep inside,
Oh, how I wish to penetrate through,
And learn of your inner pride.

A slow and easy pace, I'll take,
To keep you close in heart,
And learn about what makes you tick,
And find that missing part.

Take care my secret friend,
I tip my hat to you,
And hope that someday soon,
You'll feel the same way too.
