Your shoes don't fit me but trust me, I understand.
Don't give up hope or walk another step without holding my hand.
Because I know to you, everything is hard in your life.
But trust me everything gets better regardless of hurting, sorrow, stress, pain, or strife.
I can walk on behind you to learn of each dead end.
Even take the lead and guide you, only to show you the life of a friend.
But for me to do this would never be fair.
So I will continue our journey together learning of your sadness and despair.
I can see you soul in your eyes and your heart in the light.
Please trust me, my friend I will be along-side you throughout this flight.
Your footsteps I see and bring in with care and concern.
I'm sorry to tell you, kind soul-each imprint is a lesson you must learn.
Don't dread the walk-it's one we all must make.
Your heart will be shattered, yes, it will break.
But understand that pain and heartache will only make your mind and spirit stronger.
Don't scorn upon the days of loss, that will only make each minute much longer.
This poem is left unfinished just for you.
Because I know one day your footsteps will stand out from your heart shining through.
