Robert J Moore Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Walk In My Shoes

Unless you walk in my shoes, 
you don’t know how I feel,
you don’t know what I’m thinking, 
and what, to me, is real

You may have your demons, 
but you don’t know of mine
the feelings when the darkness comes, 
the sadness all the time

My family love and care for me, 
I know they are always there
it helps but does not keep away, 
times of darkness and despair

They help to give me confidence, 
to get through my work and play
I know that as I grow and learn, 
their love will show the way.

And now I hope the things I do, 
will help others through there day
and try to help them understand, 
The Black Dog, can be held, at bay

Thank you for writing such a compassionate poem.....Shirley Robert J Moore July 16, 2021 at 8:22 PM Thank you for your comments Shirley, if it is not us personally, it can be a family member or friend who suffers, and it is so difficult to help them, you can only try.
