Someone Else's Book Poem by Barry Middleton

everything that falls to earth
must land upon this page
all the pain and joy of life
the wisdom of the sage

laughter of a child at play
will drift upon the wind
the many times I still recall
of moments with a friend

every broken heart I've know
will walk this path with me
and every soul who's gone before
into eternity

for human hearts are all the same
no matter where you look
like someone sitting next to you
from someone else's book
