let them know how much you care

Funny how when you meet someone you never really know,
If they are going to stay around or suddenly just up and go.

Rarely do you know ahead how important they may be,
will it turn into a friendship on that you must wait and see.

Interesting also is the way you met was it planned or just by chance.
It could happen on the internet or at a summer’s dance.

Someday we may understand how important friendships really are.
And if compassion replaced anger we really could go far.

Yes, friends are strangers we have yet to meet and they may come from anywhere.
Always keep compassion in your heart and let them know how much you care.
