Analysis of In My Shoes
In life have you ever had to walk in my shoes…
To have to continue to walk without sharing our views…
Of life in a nutshell so to speak..
It makes life dim to bleak…
All we did was our best to give you wings to fly…
But that wasn’t good enough and I don’t know why…
You had it so easy and didn’t even care..
To respond to your children except when you wanted to be there..
The ones in charge allowed it and now I know the whole…
So, take off them old shoes and take up my sole…
I’m sure you will see you missed the two best things that ever happened to you..
It also comes as a pair of shoes in two…
