Journeyed feet

Inspirational poem written June 3, 2015

In a pair of shoes,
I see the world.
In them is a pair of feet
With somewhere to go
And people to meet;
Where they'll be doomed
Or spared;
Where they'll be feted
Or made to compete.
Though try as he might
To take his shoes to heaven,
He won't.
They'll be bare as bones,
Stripped of their wear,
Washed with loving care,
And carefully bound
For new travels upon clouds,
Water and air.
