Shoe Shine Rub

The greatest lesson I have learned while my feet are upon this earth; Walk through the day with your shoes on. Don't plan your path as you approach it don't keep your sights far ahead Watch as you go strolling  over lands where angels tread. But never remove those rose colored glasses. Lay your intentions on the table keep your money on the shelf put a gaurd around your homestead And always, always look after your self. And once in a while, buy new shoes. Trust everyone except a thief. Hear your words come back to you. Remember talk is never cheap and cupid has wings for a reason. Save your money for boots. Honor those above you lift up those who aren't humble yourself for an elder give a child a good start. Carry a big umbrella. Keep clean the path behind you so that the seeds you plant will grow. Sprinkle words like water but don't tell everything you know. Life is a journey. Wear shoes.
