Welcome Stranger.

Welcome Stranger.
360.4

Like a large check from a departed aunt;
Like a young chicken in a restaurant;
Like a half dollar in last year’s vest;
Like a brief sermon on the day of rest;

Like a late breakfast on a holiday;
Like the kind note that brings a ralse In pay;
Like a small loan when all your cash is gone;
Like a mint julep when the lid is on;

Like all these boons which come, with with footsteps light,
All unexpected, to our vast delight,
Comes that rare blessing to invoke our praise,
A nice cool night between two July days.
