“The one that wears the Bróg knows well where it pinches.”

Walk in the Shoes

and you’ll know who is greater in the kingdom where all are free.

Walk in the shoes of another for a mile

Carry on your shoulder each other’s weakness and troubles

only to see who is the stronger.

At last realize the suffering each one pays to be incomplete

without a friend to understand the mis’ry and darkness

which cloud the horizon of life while we try to grow into persons.
