I went into a saloon last night <br />and a notice stood out <br />like a beacon light. <br />The notice read as follows. <br /> <br />There are no strangers here, <br />only friends. <br />There is no frowning, <br />only smiles. <br />If you are feeling lonely, <br />this is the place to come, <br />as there is always <br />someone to talk to, <br />for there are no strangers here, <br />only friends. <br /> <br />19 April 2008 <br /> <br /> <br />Note: <br /> <br />The poem was written around a quote that hangs in the saloon of the western town I helped build. The quote: There Are No Strangers Here - Only Friends came from my friend and our Town Mayor Papa Bear (Derek Lewry)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/only-friends-3/
