Notes About The Poem

Remember, the gift you give no matter how insignificant, it will change the world.

Walking In Your Shoes

In days of perpetual ridicule.
I stopped here and saw you.
The painful cry from a broken voice.
Showed to me that you had no choice.

In sweltering and freezing days of life.
You carried on knowing no end to your strife.
This faithful day I reached out for your hand.
With tears in your eyes you started to stand.

I wondered if you had eaten any food today.
You said no that you have no money to pay.
I offered a gift of life for you to start again
With a grateful hug and crying we begin.

Days and nights you were growing beautifully.
It delighted me that you are a wonderful gift to see.
Everyone here on Earth is worth more than gold.
For our father gave us love and compassion as foretold.
