Everybody Has Had Somebody
Everybody has had somebody
Past or present, as you will.
Lives are shaped by those we meet
Day by day.
Shadows from the darkest moments
Live in every heart;
Lonely people have known people
Along the way.
Everybody wants somebody
To stand beside them strong and true.
Everybody needs somebody-
I as well as you.
I guess you never realized
Before it was too late
That, for me, that somebody
Could have been you.
The illustration in the book is of a table set for two
with a candle that had burned down to the nub?
everyone needs somebody but its not always the case they have somebody
it is true in every sense of the words. when we are alone we are not really alone. nicely done.
you paint a sad and melodramatic picture with simple words and a common place life situation.... the hall mark of a good poet.... i really liked it any body should...it is very nice...and would ring a chord in any feeling heart. cheers sat

Absolutely beautifully expressed ma'am. Sheer delight yet the depth of your feelings cannot be lost. Thanks for the advice to read it. Surely a 10+
beautiful, Adeline. and you are right - along the same line as my 'it's time'. shame there's so much unfinished love around.. xxx
