Stranger in the rearview mirror

Have you ever been touched by a stranger's simple act of kindness ...The man in the Dadar local who offered to hold your bag while you held on to dear life.The two boys who pushed your car when it sulked and died on the busiest road in the world and the world just honked you into shameThe lady who let you see the doc first, after alcohol had bludgeoned your body into submission.The math teacher who gave you that one extra mark that saved you a year.I am sometimes ashamed I don't remember them often enough ... how they just faded away from my consciousness like objects in a rearview mirror.
