Strangers No More
Your daughter and
My daughter, they were
Strangers to one another.
They knew nothing
About the other, but
Now they find themselves friends.
This neighbor and
Another neighbor, they had
Doors locked on each other,
Always tried to
Ignore one another;
Now they let themselves in.

Most poem ideas come to me late in the day, sometimes keeping me awake at night, insistent I must write them down before they will let me sleep. This one woke me up this morning. Any day I write a poem is automatically a good day.
