Empath

They say, be empathic
    and show that you care;
I remind it goes both ways,
    this street that we share.
I know I should walk 
    for a mile in your shoes,
but unless you wear 13s,
    I may have to refuse.

Hello, Darlene, I suppose so! Seems our forward rush neglects to consider where we've come from. Have a blessed evening as well!
