Strangers from the Past

We meet persons who look like someone we once knew. Or we see people who knows someone we know. We need to keep talking to people we don't know.



I’ve moved around a lot.
Many people have I known.
It’s a lot like a gardener
after many seeds are sown.

No matter where I seem to be
I often am aghast
when I least expect it
there’s someone from my past.

Sometimes it’s someone I have known
whose name I can’t recall
when eating at a restaurant
or shopping at a mall.

I visit with a stranger
who is completely new.
We find they know someone
and I have known them too.

When we share our lives with folks
as we live upon this earth
God will take those experiences
and give them added worth.

This happened just the other night
when I made a hospital call.
One I thought would be a stranger
was an acquaintance after all.

Working in hospitals did that for me. someone would walk up to me and say "man I'm so greatful for what you did for my son/mother/wife...etc.
I would always thank them and then ask them, where/what? I usually ssid I remember your face, but I have treated so many poeple, tell me again where it was we met. Most times I would remember.
