My Shoes

When I went out to dinner I heard the words you said
And at the grocery store in the aisle by the bread
I even heard you say at work these kids had their choice
I wanted to strangle you and take away your voice
You were discussing soldiers and how their mothers feel
You said it was a part of life that they should all get real
You said that you were tired of the tears your neighbor shed
Her child was only at war, she certainly was not dead
You said you couldn't understand what the fuss was all about
If I hear you say one more word I'll do more than just shout
I'm going to throw my shoes at you and make you put them on
You won't even have to walk the mile or wear them for very long
The minute you slip your feet in them you will feel all the pain
That I am feeling while my child is fighting in the rain
Your tears will flow just like mine while your feet are in my shoes
Through the eyes of an army mom you will see how I see you
You'll know the fear I feel each night when I go to bed
You'll feel the pain I feel at the words the people said
You'll feel the pride and joy to have a soldier in your life
You will also feel their struggles and their strife
Now give me back my shoes, they are too good for you to wear
Because you don't believe in our soldiers over there

From a Desert Storm vet..

Very true.

How are you Earth...

ur always in my thoughts and prayers...
