I miss you so much !!!!


A Pair Of Shoes

I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them,
and each day I wish
I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that
I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in other's eyes that they are
glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are
might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes
you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on,
you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only
one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women are like me and ache daily
as they try to walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in
them so that they don't hurt quite so much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that
days will go by before they
think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these
shoes. Yet, because of these shoes
I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me
the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes
of a woman who has lost a child.
