    Walk a Mile

     Sometimes life gives you lemons
    And you can't make lemonade
    You can tell me your sad stories
    But please don't rain on my parade
    I'll always be around for you
    Don't you worry 'bout a thing
    So keep you chin up, smell the roses
    And we'll see what tomorrow brings


    Pull yourself up by the bootstraps
    Pull out all the stops
    Always put your best foot forward
    But don't make them call the cops
    Don't change horses midstream
    Remember, it could be worse
    Don't call us, we'll call you
    And Don't put your cart before the horse


    Every day's a new day
    Every tear must fall
    Dry your eyes, smile that smile
    I'm at your beck and call
    you're you're own worst enemy
    Ghosts may come back to haunt
    Dream your dreams, but lets get real
    You can't always get what you want


    So Start from scratch
    Steal some thunder
    Walk a mile in someones shoes
    you're no diff'rent
    We've all got problems
    Everybody sings the blues

    I like the poem. "We've all got problems" and "sing the blues." This is reinforced by the sayings that are supposed to be right but don't live up to our immediate thoughts of wisdom. Sometimes we learn, sometimes we don't

    It brings to mind the country song by Garth Brookes, “The Dance.” Beautifully written and a reminder that even in times of doubt and sorrow, we all share the difficulties that life brings on a daily basis: they simply may wear different facades of acknowledgement.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
