The Mile I'Ve Walked

Many a shoe has walked on my Soul, raised me up to a stand where once I crawled Some I could slip right on No struggle, no fight, always found in the middle of late night Rain was tested on many with a dance, mud on rubber didn't Stand a chance I climbed up hills that felt like Mountains, slipped on rocks smoothed from waterfall fountains There were paths that had two roads to take, I sometimes chose the one my shoes couldn't make Next trip I remembered that Mistake I had shoes that lifted me up and those I thought I could walk across fire Some got me to the front row In church, others I only found One, no matter how hard I had Searched There were the ones I could walk in for Miles, and those that pinched hard, Leaving no room for even fake smiles I guess the old saying rings true, You don't know another's story unless you've talked to their shoes
