Shoes

Take a step

No one can step into another's shoes.

Would you want to?

I know I wouldn't.

Mine are enough to make my head spin at times.

My shoes have walked many paths...

Some ending with stunning vistas,

with laughter and happiness.

Some lonely,

with self-pity, self-doubt.

Some heart-breaking,

with pain and tears.

You know nothing of my shoes.

I know nothing of yours.

Shall we walk together?
