Old Shoes



A life can look tattered and worn,

like old shoes sitting in the corner.



Laces frayed, covered in dirt and holes;

Soles worn and loose.

Every scuff and stain a story.
The story of a life well lived.

 

Old shoe tattered and worn,

sits in the corner,

maybe forgotten, so forlorn.

 

Laces frayed, covered in dirt and holes;

Sole worn and flapping.

But this old shoe sits not sad.

 

Every scuff and stain a story to give.

A story of steps taken, roads well traveled.

Longing for the shiny and new

is to deny a life well lived.

 

Battered and torn, such a shoe

might sit sad and alone,

but shoes never do.

The best part of such a life 

is that shoes come in sets of two.

The hide previous isn't working for some reason.  comments appreciated!
