if there's a story
to tell about someone...

Sometimes just look at their shoes .
they might be in dismay,

about the journey in life that they choose.

I do know of one
who's shoes carried a load
much larger than any in life.
that's been through more,
and weathered the storm
They Carried him to sacrifice.

I'll never forget
the shoes he wore
the journey he had made
They Carried him
though he carried many
a decision we'll all have to make.....

I'm worn and tattered
like my old leather shoes
creases, wrinkles and cracks
that are all but untrue

that encompasses life
shows all of my love,
my passion, my strife.
it wasn't a straight
road not truly unfair
to what be the journey
without the hardships we bare.

I look at my soles
on the bottom I see
the mountains, The Valleys I've climbed the times I had fallen
but got up and survived.
