Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

In Search of My Own

I traveled from Essex
  to the kingdom of Wales
  in search of a family tree

And passing a cobbler
  I then was reminded
  what these shoes really mean to me

I’ve walked and I’ve walked
  and I’ve searched and I’ve searched,
  for a name more than mine on loan

And through leather worn thin
   these sparse clothes that I’m in
   will walk to China in search of my own

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
