Similar Poem by Ray Hansell

In all my years of living
I've done so many things
Been so many places
Heard the church bells ring

I've heard so many people
As their laughter filled the air
I could see concern on their faces
Because, deep inside we all care

That's when I came to realize
Just how much alike we are
We all have our private moments
When we wish upon a star

We all have our feelings
We all have our pain
It seems to me that you and I
In a lot of ways we are the same

We have all known heartaches
We've all had our dreams
So many times we all contemplate
When our thoughts flow like a stream

We have so much in common
More then we may realize
You can see hope for the future
When you look in peoples eyes
