If you could step out of those shoes for a day,
and look on yourself in a different way.
You might have a totally new point of view.
Discovering things you don’t know about you.
If you could step out of those shoes for a while,
and witness the way that you make people smile.
You’d be quite amazed at what we all see.
You’d let those inadequate feelings go free.
If you could step out of those shoes to relax.
You would see in yourself how an angel reacts.
You might understand how you make people feel.
You’d no longer harbor the fears you conceal.
If you could step out of those shoes and reflect.
It would bring such a wondrous healing effect.
The magic you carry would finally show,
the incredible person you don’t seem to know.

I loved this. I love the hope and the life in this. The only thing is that 'you' was a tad bit overused, but all in all it was excellent.
Best of luck in the contest.
Write on.

I do enjoy reading a good rhythmic poem, and this, poet is not only good in content but good with conjuring up actual emotions for the one who this would be written for. Great job indeed.

Beautiful!! I feel kind of redundant heaping praise on each of your poems, but I know it took time to write them, and I definitely enjoy reading them, so each deserves its own comment and applause. Best of luck in the contest with this poem!!
