He Was A Stranger.

He was a stranger.

I knew his name.

I seen him on holidays and special occasions,

But he was family..


He was a stranger.

I knew nothing of him.

I regret how I was raised around him,

Yet to me he was always a mystery.


He was a stranger.

I knew his mood.

Always grumpy and disapproved,

Why was he like that?


He was a stranger.

I knew bits and pieces,

He passed away,

And I cried for not feeling sad enough.


He was a stranger.

I know he loved me.

I saw him lying there,

Then I cried because he was gone.


He was a stranger.

I loved him too.
