Paul White Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

This is to show that people can judge you by the way you Look and the material things you have or haven't got But God doesn't judge anyone .......

No shoes on my feet

I'm walking in darkness alone on a street 
Making no sound with no shoes on my feet

I'm freezing cold and I am losing heat
Still I have no shoes on my feet 

I'm starving and I need something to eat
It hurts to walk with no shoes on my feet 

My head is hung low my body in defeat 
But I keep walking with no shoes on my feet 

I'm judged by all the people I meet 
All because I have no shoes on my feet 

But when we die and our maker we meet 
WE WILL ALL STAND BEFORE HIM WITH
NO SHOES ON OUR FEET
