I Have Holes In My Soles

my shirts and shoes
are wearing out -
and they tell me 
I am too

I patch and glue 
to make them whole -
but fail 
to make them new

I have holes in my soles
and frayed treads on my edges -
but manage 
for the most part to get through

until one day 
they say
it will all fall apart
hopefully all at once
I pray
