• I took some time to say "hello"
    To someone that I didn't know
    To someone who was walking by-
    A look of sadness in her eyes

    And when she smiled back gratefully
    And said a warm "hello" to me
    I realized that my "little gift"
    had given both of us a lift

    You never know just whom you'll meet
    Throughout your day on any street
    People just like me and you
    With lonliness and problems too!

    Yet life is always better when
    We take some time to be a friend
    To someone we don't even know
    And all it takes is one "hello"
