Waiting

  • Just a call
    Perhaps a letter
    Even just a hello
    From a friend
    An aquaintence
    Even just a stranger
    It makes a difference
    They wouldn’t know
    Sometimes it keeps me breathing
    As I sit here
    In the dark
    Always, Always waiting…

    We should thank the shoe laces,
    Oh yes we truly should!
    They save us every day
    National heroes donâ??t you know?
    You see those shoes are alive
    Totally evil and corrupt
    Its cause they have no heartâ?¦
    Strange creatures that they are

    You see it is like this
    Shoes really want us for lunch!
    They have eyes, mouths and tongues
    And most of all they have soles!

    Always watching they are
    Hoping to eat our feet for lunch
    So how did these crazy creatures
    End up on our feet at last?

    It began with an idea
    To tame the shoe to wear
    But just how do you tame a beast?
    As wild as a bear?

    The answer came in a lace
    A drawstring of sorts
    And to weave it through the eyes
    So they couldnâ??t tell us apart

    But how this idea came to be
    Is a kind of mystery
    It began when a man
    Had his foot viciously attacked

    The shoe jump and bit,
    He yelled and shook his good!
    He took a sack of coins
    And took the drawstring off!

    In all the pain he was
    He weaved it through the eyes
    And suddenly the shoe let loose
    Yet he thought this was nice.

    He said this felt warm
    Comfy and snugg.
    He jumped up and down
    And smiled oh so much.

    It seems without their eyes
    Shoes could not see
    If they couldnâ??t see
    Shoes couldnâ??t bite!

    And thats how we got our shoes
    But take a warning or two
    If your walking in the street,
    And your laces come undone
    If you donâ??t tie emâ?? up
    Your feet could be lunch.

    Reach out with love
    never bend the rule
    of giving what you seek
    inside you
    beside you
    is always a friend
    whose heart is full
    of love to give.

    Say yes
    I can
    Say yes
    I am
    Same as you.
