A Cobbler's Valentine

A cobbler from a distant land
  is a mender of torn and worn-out shoes
He prefers mending hopeless shoes
  than slightly-damaged boots
He will not charge you if your shoes cry out loud
  He will only speak soft words
That your heart can hear out loud

One cobbler who sings while mending
One's pair of shoes, weary and sad for tending
One cobbler who tells a story about caring
Caring for people, even without knowing

Very intuitive write from a positive soul. Fantastic imagery to make even those who with more troubles than most smile and look in the window you have lit up. Regards David in NZ
