Why the help?

You are a stranger - a leaf in the wind
You are a small lavendar flower
   That doesn't get any attention
You are the sunshine that no one sees
You are the diamond that is still unfound

I saw you only once
I don't know who you are
   Or where you came from
All I know is that you are
And God made you in His likeness

And that gives me reason enough
To help you all I can.

~~CD~~

You aren't a stranger; you are just a family member I don't know

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...
