Lit by Sue Small 22nd May 2008
We Are Wearing Two Pairs Of Shoes,They Are Ugly Shoes, Uncomfortable Shoes, We Hate Our Shoes.Each Day We Wear Them, And Each Day We Wish We Had Another Pair.Some Days Our Shoes Hurt So Bad That We Do Not Think We Can Take Another Step, Yet We Continue To Wear Them.We Get Funny Looks Wearing These Shoes, They Are Looks Of Sympathy , We Can Tell In Others Eyes That They Are Glad They Are Our Shoes And Not Theirs.They Never Talk About Our Shoes; To Learn How Awful Our 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.We Now Realise That We Are Not The Only Ones Who Wear These Shoes, Their Are Many Pairs In This World. Some People Are Like Us And Ache Daliy As They Try To Walk In Them.Some Have Learned How To Walk In Them So They Don't Hurt Quiet So Much. Some Have Worn The Shoes So Long That Days Will Go By Before They Think About How Much They Hurt.No Person Deserves These Shoes, Yet Because Of These Shoes We Are Stronger People.These Shoes Have Given Us The Strength To Face Anything.They Have Made Us Who We Are.We Will Forever Walk In The Shoes Of Parents Who Have Lost A Child.xxxxxxxxxxx Love Mum And Dad xxxxxxxxxxxx
