Ten Bucks In His Left Shoe, Bold In His Steps

Ten Bucks In His Left Shoe, Bold In His Steps (Walking Traveler of Hope) Walking, each life mile-straight as the crow flies dancing when fair weather graced bright skies. Ten bucks in his left shoe, bold in his steps enemy to world's hatred and dark lies. Traveler, seeking naught but joy and peace sworn to defend those seeking hope's release. Ten bucks in his left shoe, bold in his steps vowing to make truth his life's centerpiece. Of Hope, knowing man had such in his heart belief and wisdom he sought to impart Ten bucks in his left shoe, bold in his steps truth's weapon, overcame evil ramparts Walking Traveler of Hope, peace his goal. All that he served, their grateful hearts he stole. Robert J.

Robert, first may I say, Great sonnet, and secondly, I learn so much from reading your poetry. Keep up the good work mate, and love the ten bucks in his left shoe title. /|\
