A Walk in My Shoes

May 2002

If you walked in my shoes,

you wouldn't feel the need to explain yourself,

you would love thyself.

If you walked in my shoes,

you would understand my passion,

you would never fail at compassion.

If you walked in my shoes,

you wouldn't need words to talk,

you would feel the occasional heaviness in my walk.

If you walked in my shoes,

you would share in my sorrow,

you may fear what lies in tomorrow.

If you walked in my shoes,

you could make my choices,

you would disregard all other's voices.

All this, from just a walk in my shoes.
