A Simple Pair of Shoes

A simple pair of shoes

Taken for-granted by you and me

But there is a person

not so like you and me

They don't have shoes

They can't watch tv

So when you're in a strop

When you're in a temper

Look at your shoes 

And remember

Not everyone has what you have

Not everyone can do what you do

Never forget there're people 

Worse off than you

[Samuel Dickens]

An outstanding life-lesson, and you couldn't have picked a better example than shoes. I grew up very poor, so there was often no money to buy important things like school clothes, etc. In that situation, dad would often say, "I'll sell my shoes if I have to....."

I love my shoes

So when your in a strop
When your in a temper


make sure when you are writing that you spell all your words correctly
you're means 'you are"
i think that is what you want to use in these lines instead of 'your'
Keep on writing!!!!!

I love it!! but i think this line...
Taken for-granted by you and me

Taken for granted
By me and by you.
