We are not strangers
You and I, and yet
We’ve never spoken
Or even met
I would not recognize you
Anywhere
Though we’ve laughed and wept
Into the still air
One wields the pen
One holds the page
We are fellowmen
On a common stage
Though we've never met
It's nice to think
We touch each other
Through the power of ink

Though we may never meet
I’d simply like to say
Thank-you to all who have passed by
My little porch today…
Though we may never speak
It is enough to know
That words and prayers reach anywhere
A little thought can go
J~
Thank-you to generations
Past and presently
Who have shared inspiration
So that others may read
Janet, may I be so bold and ask if I may share this on Inscribe and Word Guild pages, please? I love this and think it a great encouragement to writers who often wonder about their readers.
ReplyDeleteFor sure! We really have no way of knowing who or how many read, do we?:) But God does and if we believe we are trying to honor Him through written word it surely is not in vain...right?
ReplyDeleteGlynis, thank-you for reading today.
