All The Same
who has inspired you
who has caused you to change direction
who came along –
who turned your world upside down
and made things different
somehow never the same
who has laughed with you
who has shared your pain
how many times have you loved?
how many times –
have you cried and given out your heart
how many times have you got back up
how many times have you fallen apart
who has woven your tapestry
who has heard your chorus
what experiences have set you free
it’s just, it’s just you readily criticise me
saying that life has pass me by
but you have not shared my life
and i am not aware of your own triumphs
you seem the same,
the same train, the same strain, the same misery
James Garratt – November 2007
