Goodbye

Today I had to say goodbye to two dear old friends of mine. 
We’ve been through so many things together. 

We’ve hopped fences, ran from police, climbed mountains and ran down steep slopes.
	We’ve been through the rain together and we’ve relaxed in the summertime sun.

I’ve been tied to them and them to me for many days. 


We’ve both been worn down as the time passes but we’ve also broken in and have been 
accustomed to the elements that we must continue through in order to wander upon the 
earths’ soil for another transition of sunlight.
	

These are my black Dwayne Wade Converse sneakers! They have been with me for more 
moments than I will ever remember. I say goodbye to my dear old friends and I send much 
appreciation for helping me stay on my feet even in the iciest of situations!
