My Favorite Pair of Sneakers

When the wind blows When the wind blows,the lighting strikes,when heavy rain comes,I know you will be there. There I was in my birthday suit during a crowd of people robbed of all my belongings,but you were there with me, all I had was you on my feet. In you they saw no value,they saw no quality only quantity. You are my favourite pair of sneakers. I walk in you, I run in you,I play in you but most of all I trust in you. I give you access to all my assets because you give your all to me When they look at you they see an old rag that has to be thrown away, they see stitches on the sides of your sole and they think you are useless They don't know the feeling of being loved with no limits, the feeling of feeling protected and safe. You are my best pair of shoes They can take all from me,but I beg them not to take you and definitely not my poetry You are my strength You are my smilekeepr You are my soul lifter You are my poetry You are my favourite pair of shoes.
