HAPPENSTANCE

When you meet someone

Quite casually,

You might be curious

About their history.

What they have to say

Should set the mood for the day,

Listen carefully and weigh

What it is that is given away.

Next, it may be your turn

To do the same,

Be as truthful as you can

Trust must carry the day.

As you now delve deeper

With an amiable exchange,

Each of you will be a seeker

To expand the information range.

By this time each will know

Your initial instinct will show

An interest in further growth,

If yes, the seeds of a future

May indeed have been sown.
