I'm writing this poem today to all of you
Who's having a hard time just getting through
I know that words are so easy to say
If you're not one having a bad day
I've told you before of how I have lived
Of how I have sinned and couldn't forgive
So as I was telling you about my life
I hope I helped to keep you from strife
I pray my poems can help someone else
To keep you from mistakes that I made myself
I know it's hard when you're going through pain
And you don't want to hear it over again
But I want you to know that my poems are true
And that I wouldn't lie-not even to you
I'm going to turn fifty seven years old
And I don't always believe everything I'm told
For not everyone has walked in your shoes
So to everyone lots of respect we should show
For we are all sinners in Gods eyes, I know
I just wanted to tell you what God did for me
So I hope a better person He's helped me to be
But before I'd tell anyone else what to do
I think I'd first take a walk in your shoes
