We are always walking through peoples lives
By chance or
By choice
Strangers
On the outskirts passing by
Acquaintances
Bidding hello and goodbye
Friends
Sharing laughter or cries
Lovers
Exploring how and why
Family
The most lasting tie
Walk gently through those lives
Stranger, friend, or wife
Not all wounds are visible
Some they safely hide
By chance or
By choice
The deepest cut
Sometimes comes from a voice
