My Favourite Shoes
My Favourite Shoes
New shoes bought at great expense, soft and supple leather,
Sturdy heels with non slip soles, fit for any weather.
One may declare without a doubt
These shoes are surely strong and stout.
Shoes that know just when to dance, when to walk or run.
Shoes that given half a chance, stride out to have some fun.
They’ll take you where you want to be
And bring you back; or set you free.
Handmade shoes that last for years, and travel many miles,
Crossing bridges, strolling lanes, through the fields, and over stiles.
O’er life’s great map still tramping on
To see the world before it’s gone.
Time marches on, by its side, these shoes keep up the pace.
They’re old and scuffed, down at heel; in fact, a right disgrace.
But throw them out, I could not do
For comfort is a worn old shoe.
