Analysis of Stranger
At a store,
A crisp $10 bill.
Down an asile,
Found what I was looking for.
Headed towards the cash register,
Got the $10 bill.
Rang it up,
Didn't have enough.
Out of the blue,
a stranger gave me what I need.
Didn't know him,
Didn't see him ever.
He gave me money that I needed,
Still remember him.
