IT CAN BE A SMALL WORLD

IT CAN BE A SMALL WORLD

Roger A. Davis

“It’s a small world” the saying goes
Usually said when there’s a meeting of knows
It can be a town, person or joint relation
Yet only happens when speaking to the situation

To gain this phenomenon, you must converse
Definition: made up of distinct qualities and characteristics; diverse
Another area of common ground
By sharing, this can always be found

I’m one of those who has never met a stranger
Striking up a conversation, I know there’s possible danger
You may get a cold shoulder or two
It’s their loss, a case of snob flu

This week connected dots between two Norfolk navy men
Through conversation with two separate women
I made the ladies aware of their proximity
It brought them smiles and a little levity

Grandmother Cook was my mentor in this art
Going anywhere, she connected before taking her depart
Being a genealogist, she wanted to know your name
Made tons of friends, it ignited my flame

My advice, be an ambassador to earth
For listening and talking has an awesome worth
You may make a friend along the way
Or help someone find a person gone astray
