In My Shoes

Poem: In My Shoes

Had some wins and losses along my journey.

The lessons of life brought out the woman in me.

On my face fingers point, whispers in face.
I would get back up I've worked too hard to quit.

In My Shoes

Get ready for another day.
Class projects, tests, exams, and on the bus get my child from daycare.
While I still wear the hat of the single mom.
The harsh criticism of those who thought I wouldn't keep going.
Somehow I put my best foot forward and made it sparkle.

In My Shoes
