Old shoes,
much loved,
it’s time
to say
good-bye.
Left, right,
day, night,
Ben wore
you all
the time.
Long years --
Ben wore
you out --
sixteen,
to be
precise.
Left, right,
day, night.
It’s time
to say
good-bye.
Pebbles
in shoes,
imprints
on soles.
It’s time
to say
good-bye.
***
New shoes,
fresh, clean,
A nice
hello
to you.
Left, right,
day, night,
many
journeys
ahead
for Ben
and you.
16 years of wear--wow! They were worth every penny that's for sure.

ReplyDeleteDear Ben, I feel for you.
It's hard to let my favorites go...I've just been there myself.
