About me

THESE SHOES

I wear 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 others 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 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 and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as 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
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.

I wanted to thank you for the lovely graphic that you left on my son's memorial page and also wanted to tell you that your poem in your "about me" section so perfectly describes how we, as parents to Angels feel/live with daily.. I just wanted to thank you for being able to so perfectly put it into words...

Hi there, this is the first of the new versions of the 5 videos I had to delete from YouTube because of copyright issues. I hope you like it as much as you did the original one I posted.

This is the vocal version of an older instrumental posting I made and performed a while ago on YouTube. It is to wish our lost loved ones a Happy Birthday in Heaven. Please share around. God Bless.

This is a poem of how we should try and live our lives, and how we should try to be kind to others, or we may reap what we sow. I hope you like it.
