In another shoe

There I was!

Hands on my hips,

Rolling eyes,

Tapping feet

 

Listening from one ear

And removing it from another

“Blah, Blah, Blah

Put yourself in my shoes, Blah Blah”

 

I was ready to scream

“Are you a serious mother?”

I slammed the door on her face

And refused to open it for another 3 days.

 

Sitting in the room

I got bored and then

I considered her advice

How bad can it be?

 

If my little girl

Wanted to run away

With her boyfriend to elope

I would have chained her to a chair

 …..

 Life changes

When you see it

From another person’s shoes

 

So leave what you are doing

And pick a pair

After a while you’ll see

That life isn’t actually fair
