I Know, I'Ve Been There! Poem by Eric Cockrell

in each heart
there is a universe
never before seen, ...
i know, i've been there!

in each soul
there's a photograph of God
that's unlike any other, ...
i know, i've been there!

in every mind
a dream different but the same,
a thought that finishes, needs finishing, ...
i know, i've been there!

in every destiny
an individual path,
yet a part of the whole, ...
i know, i've been there!

in every hidden longing
names put to faces,
and hands put to touch, ...
i know, i've been there!

in every prayer,
the need both unique and shared,
both mortal and immortal, ....
i know, i've been there!

in every tear,
wept by every living being,
the call to return, to go home, ...
i know, i've been there!
