The Extra Mile
and when she saw that vagrant man
the gears all clicked; she had a plan
to share his footsteps for a span
and then as was her style
thinking this life was his to choose
not being one to disabuse
I watched her buy some brand new shoes
to go the extra mile
she walked beside, but what’s a shame
she didn’t even get his name
close she was, yes, close she came
yet missed it all the while
