If you walked in my shoes,

Your soles would be worn to the skin.

You'd ache and you'd shake,

But you'd learn and you'd make

New goals for a life renewed.

​

If you walked in my shoes,

From place down to place

Your body would hurt,

But you'd know you were safe.

​

If you walked in my shoes,

You'd wonder and wish,

But at the very least

You'd eat a good dish.

 

For gratitude heals

The wounds of the soul.

And every step you take,

Is a step away from the hole.

 

If you hope and you dream,

Your goals, it will seem

Become closer than before

Every window and door.

​

Opens, even if seemingly locked.

For your gratitude

Keeps you from being distraught.

Open
