Walk a Mile in My Shoes (a reflection from Dad)

Walk a mile in my shoes!

Do you know where you are going?
Walk a mile in my shoes.

Do you know where you have been?
Think about that,
Walk a mile in my shoes.

Do you know what’s ahead of you?
Walk a mile in my shoes.

I walk with the Lord
And He guides me.
I do what He asks,
And He will judge me.

I am not subject to humans
But, to God alone.

Do we judge as we want to be judged?
Are we loving as God wants us to be loved?

Walk a mile in my shoes.

Some shoes are big and some are small,
Some of us walk the path alone ,
And some of us have many people with us.

Oh, how does God look at me?
How will I be remembered?
Did I act as He wanted me to?
Or, did I take the way of the world?

I am 69 years old
And I walked in many shoes.
I have been judged by many as strange,
And yet, I am comfortabable with the Lord.

I have been called many things,
Because I was misunderstood.
I was shunned,
But I continued forward.

Walk a mile in my shoes!

My shoes are wearing out,
I am close to the last pair.
Will I continue to be misunderstood?
Or will people understand where I have been?

Look into my shoes, do you see my walk?
Look into your shoes, where are you going?
How do you want these shoes to be remembered?
Is there love in these shoes?

When I am gone and my shoes are empty,
Look inside and see if you can see,
The love I had for you.
I hope I didn’t judge your life,
For that is not for me to see.

God alone gave us a mission,
He chose our shoes for us to wear,
Some are big and some are small,
Some are shinny and some are dull,

But God alone gave us our shoes to wear.

So wear the shoes that God gave you,
Don’t look to the right or to the left.
Wear them proudly and go forward,
For we are judged by how we wear these shoes.

Keep them polished and in good condition,
For you will be my age someday,
And God will call us home,
To see how we wore the shoes He gave.

God bless you all,

And I love you.

I'd like to give a big shout out to my blood platelets which have risen to 98,000 with the good help of Promacta, Prednisone, Acyclovir, Bactrim, Nexium, Percocet, dietary supplements, and some good old fashioned will power. Great job boys! We are 75% of the way to normal and we didn't even need to cut out my spleen! Way to rally!
