Merriement #15

For the love of shoes.

I opened the closet and walked on in

my foot hit something that had fallen from its bin.

An old pair of shoes~ wrinkled and worn,

lay out on the floor reminding me of a long lost friend.

Quite a story old shoes can tell

where we've gone ~ a life that's been lived well.

Oh, I know that some folks

don't care about the past,

only the present ~ 'cause times are just too fast.



But old shoes go slow

with memories from so long ago

of times good and bad

smiles and tears

of things happy and sad.

At times we struggle in life to find

a place of happiness, peace and a companion to be kind.

Old shoes are with us every step of the way

through good times and bad

bright days and sad.

Old shoes are like friends, they stay around

in good times and bad,

they are really quite sound.

Old shoes are like good friends

you don't throw away

just tuck them back

and bring them out another day.

Old Shoe Blessings to All!
