If the shoes fit~!



If the shoes fit...
no matter what size are your feet
put them on!

Walk tall
with your head held high
even if you fall
just get up, don't sigh!

Step forward
take the path less traveled
take a step back once a while
to gain in the end by many miles!

If the shoes fit...
never be afraid to put them on
don't measure the size of your feet
measure how far is your horizon!

Walk up any slope
with your eyes on the peak afar
when you get to the top
gaze to the sky, aim for the stars!

Shoes that fit for you to wear
go as far as you can see
and when you finally get there
you will see further
what will be will be!

If the shoes fit...
treasure not of its leather
be amazed by its sole instead
and the distance it will cover!

I once thought my shoes were too big
for my little feet, they were misfits
I put them on anyway
and I have traveled to lands far away!

My sons, listen to me once more
before you sail beyond the shore
If the shoes feel right,
put them on

no time to regret
set your eyes on the horizon!
