Old Shoes
Cleaning out the closets
in the autumn time of year
Old shoes fell off the rack,
worn and faded from use.
How many steps were taken
with that very pair?
Steps to work and shopping
then back home again.
New shoes may replace them
taking different steps tomorrow
but old shoes cannot return us
as time is only borrowed.
