I am grateful
For the people I meet
When traveling alone.
The kindness and compassion
I've seen from complete strangers
Is sometimes more than those
I've known all my life.
They'll offer me a seat
or keep me company
By lending me their ears.
They'll guide me to my destination,
And won't judge me if I mistep.
The smiles are genuine
and the laughs are hearty.
And even though it's seconds
Compared to the rest of my life,
It makes me realize,
The little moments like these
Are what make life worth living.
