    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.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
