LOST

We find the book
but not it's meaning

We find the word's
but not it's answer's

We find the time
but it's not the moment

We find the road
but it's not the way

We find the place
but it's not our home

We are lost.

Fun poem. I'll just point out a few unnecessary apostrophes that are distracting. S1 We find the book but not ITS meaning // S2 We find the WORDS // but not ITS ANSWERS //
