I do not know what brought me here <br />Away from where I’ve hardly ever been and now <br />Am never likely to go again. <br /> <br />Faces are lost, and places passed <br />At which I could have stopped, <br />And stopping, been glad enough. <br /> <br />Some faces left a mark, <br />And I on them might have wrought <br />Some kind of charm or spell <br />To make their futures work, <br /> <br />But it’s hard to guess <br />How one person on another <br />Works an influence. <br />We pass, and lit briefly by one another’s light <br />Hope the way we go is right.<br /><br />Brian Patten<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-another-s-light/
