Shoe

Ratty old shoe
Comfy and dirty
Molded to you foot
Laces are fraying
What was once white is brown
A little smelly
Been through a lot
Gum stuck on the bottom
But in the end
You life still has it's sole
And what ever's left of the laces
Just barely holding it together
Luckily for you it just seems to fit

This sounds like every pair of shoes I own. They become old friends and you just never want to let them go. I loved it!
