The Hitchhiker
Jun 30, 2021
Love is not the enemy
Nor is it a friend.
It is the hitchhiker you pick up
At one of life’s fortuitous bends.
So ask not where he’s from,
Inquire about where he’s headed.
Look not at his clothes,
Fall not for his charms.
Hark to the sincerity in his voice
Wait till the smile reaches his eyes.
And while you’re busy
Looking for signs of trouble.
It is easy to forget
That you’re his hitchhiker too.
