No longer bound by worn-out laces,
Opening up to fresher air.

These shoes have taken me far enough—
Old weight lifted as I finally prepare.

Laughing at the threads once tangled,
Overworn but loved in every way.
Out of each step, I’ve grown lighter,
Shedding the dust of yesterday.
Every leak made room for blooming,

Strength gathered drop by drop, now clear,
Turned from burden into blessing—
Ready now for something new.
Intentions clean, with soles refreshed,
Nurturing seeds as I step ahead,
Grounded...
