if you could walk a mile in my shoes
and i could walk in yours
then you would probably smile at me
and I would smile at you too
instead of whispering behind each others back
if you could walk in my shoes
and i walked a mile in yours
maybe you would help me up
instead of pushing me down
and i would hold my hand out to you
to grasp you when you fall
instead of watching you go to the ground
if i walked a mile in your shoes
and you could walk in mine
possibly we could walk a mile together
and talk about things
and i could walk in yours
then you would probably smile at me
and I would smile at you too
instead of whispering behind each others back
if you could walk in my shoes
and i walked a mile in yours
maybe you would help me up
instead of pushing me down
and i would hold my hand out to you
to grasp you when you fall
instead of watching you go to the ground
if i walked a mile in your shoes
and you could walk in mine
possibly we could walk a mile together
and talk about things

Kristen, this is an all time favourite post for me;
ReplyDeletei love the words somehow they really resonate with the essence of love and friendship...
But your artwork; the ballerina shoes, tuck to the side of your art paper,somewhat shy and yet so bold, the colours working together beautifully... the composition is simple and yet... i really love this.
