Stranger:

First time I heard them scream and yell,

I knew it was a start.

But sadly though I did not know,

That we would have to part.

My parents fought at every hour,

From morning through till dusk.

I knew I couldn't stay here long,

I felt I could not trust.

One night I could not handle it,

I packed my belongings.

Ran out the front door, down the street,

To find my true callings.

Out on the street, I did not know,

How hard it was to be.

To find my food and water,

Was difficult for me.

A month went past to my despair,

A crumb of food was all.

I knew that if I did not eat,

I'd soon be on the floor.

I huddled on the poor street side,

To try to get a dime.

But no one took a second look,

To help the world of mine.

I sat for hours in the cold,

Until a stranger passed.

He took a quick, sad look at me,

and then he sat at last.

He shrugged off his expensive cloak,

And put it on my arms.

I gave him a long puzzled look,

It's yours now, he demands.

He asked if I was hungry, I,

Slowly nodded my head.

He stood right up and grabbed my hand,

and dragged me to be fed.

He took me to a restaurant near,

and sat me in a chair.

I realized I did not know,

The name of the one care.

I asked for his name politely,

He gave a dazzling smile.

My name is Blake, now what is yours,

He said in a while.

I replied with my name, Crystal,

And Blake gave me a grin.

We talked for hours until late,

I felt something within.

I thought of Blake like a dear friend,

Even though we had just met.

He'd been the one that helped me up,

When I was so upset.

A friendly hand was all I need,

To get me on my way.

A kind person that will be there,

To pull me back to bay.
