I've been looking for some time <br />I've been searching for some sign <br />walking down a lonely line <br />shuffling with my shoes <br /> <br />The grass is green along the road <br />the birds are singing songs they know <br />but I just wander as I go <br />shuffling with my shoes <br /> <br />People ignore me <br />they don't want to know me <br />a dirty old bum <br />with a bottle of rum <br />shuffling with my shoes <br /> <br />I may sleep in ditches <br />but I've got my riches <br />as I gaze at the stars <br />the moon and mars <br />shuffling with my shoes <br /> <br />The sun hits the horizon <br />my life ain't surprising <br />the older I get <br />the less I regret <br />shuffling with my shoes <br /> <br />Tomorrow's a new day <br />once again I'll be on my way <br />at break of dawn <br />I'll just soldier on <br />shuffling with my shoes.<br /><br />Charles M. Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shuffling-with-my-shoes/
