The Stranger

by John Peterson

Who is this stranger
This person I see
Strangely familiar
Who can it be

I should know you
But it's wrong some how
Your eyes seem so alien
Gray hair furrowed brow

Time so unkind
Look on a face
What do I see here
Simply out of place

What happened to you
Just tell me please sir
Maybe I can help
Was it him or her

Looking now
So familiar to me
You are a stranger
Non other than me
