A Mile in His Shoes - for Chris

He's been in a bed for months
And I take for granted, every step I take

He's been fighting his body
Ferociously for every cell

He looks different
More mature, more aware

He understands how precious life is
And I'm ashamed to squander mine

He inspires me to keep fighting
For what I know has meaning

He didn't want to be my hero this way
And I would take it on if I could

He just wants everyone to understand
What it would be like to walk a mile in his shoes

He will come through
And I will be glad that he supplies me with such hope
