Does Not Take Much The dust of yesterday, clings to my shoes, and tries to slow down... my breathing. It is just dried clay, stuck to nothing important. I can walk it off, I can buy new shoes. I can choose to go barefoot, and leave all my troubles... behind. Yesterday a world gone, Today, one to hold on to... Tomorrow anyone's guess. A new pair of shoes, a warm coat, and maybe... a few dollars in the pocket, held close and waiting to spend, on just the right thing, that would bring a smile, to you and me, for free...
