Before the wind has blown the breath <br />Of simple words away <br />While in the future lays a wreath <br />From which a friend has laid <br /> <br />Come listen to a chiming bell <br />It tolls out yesterday <br />These wisdom words pride would not tell <br />Could help your soul one day.<br /><br />Pasquale DiMeola<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/by-the-way/
