In Another's Shoes

In Another’s Shoes

 

 

If I could jump

right out of my skin

into the shoes

of another

to suddenly experience

the feelings

of another

whole new world

to see through

another’s eyes

a completely

different perspective

to learn

of another’s

loves and hates

to know their fears

live with their doubts

their concerns

feel their pain

 

maybe then I wouldn’t

be so quick

to judge others

as I walk

in their footsteps

down a different path

gaining insight into

a new way of being

making me grow

with the power

to appreciate

how much alike

we all really are

under the skin.

Now that would be a grand exercise wouldn't it! I think many things would suddenly change! lol Nice to ponder on that!

Love the way your wrote this poem, if only everybody could think like that before they judged another

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
