“What Kind of
Shoe are You?”
By Michelle
Church
A boot shoe is what I am
It has a direction of where it’s going
With whom or where it does not know
But when it happens life will flow
Over the stream and through the meadow
You won’t lead a headless shadow
Like a boot you will move
You won’t fall into a hopeless groove
You will go through good & bad
Good will win
So make a stand
Always go for the gold
You’re so bright and bold
The soul won’t be cold
