    Another Mans Hell

     Tonight while I was walking
    I passed a house where I once dwelled
    and outside of my precious place,
    to another man, it was Hell.
    He sat with his hands warming
    by a fire he had made
    praying to the Lord above
    for better , brighter days.
    I couldn't help but wonder
    which road in life he took
    and as I passed, I couldn't help
    but to take another look.
    When I got home I realized
    how selfish I had been.
    I never knew how much I had
    until tonight when I saw him.

    I think we all have this epiphany at some point or another. I like the way you describe your experience.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
