Side by Side

You’re putting your foot in my shoe.

We can share

It’s alright,

Take turns;

Compromise.

But we can’t change the size,

So stop whining.

You’re not doing the best you could do.

You can’t spare,

Use my dime,

It’s not fair,

But it’s fine.

I was made by design

To keep shining.

I don’t mind moving over for you.

But be kind,

And repose;

You might step on my toes

And out holes in the soles

Or the lining.
