Walk a Mile

Before you go complaining About how your feet are aching And about how it is you've paid your dues I guess you'd best be knowing Exactly where you're going And when you get there what you plan to do You're spouting off your stories All your pain and glories And how nobody has it as hard as you Before you go and lose your sight I think you might just want to try And walk a mile in another mans shoes I'm not here to cause you trouble Don't mean to burst your bubble But you're not the only one around that moves Not the only one who's life is hectic Are you starting yet to get it There is nothing new you need to prove When you start to walk this way In your day by day by day by day Not thinking as you set your course on cruise There are other people around you know Check your pace and take it slow And try walking a mile in another mans shoes

So true Mike, there are a lot of people who are worse off than us when some of us bellyache about trivial things!:)
