Listen to poem:
YOUNGER: The truth be told
why would I do
what you suggest
put on your shoe
and take a quest
Just look, behold
my tattered shoes
Hush Puppies they'd be
naught bark nor snooze
so why pick me
OLDER: You talk so bold
of how little I have known
old am I, naught a child
aged I am and much I've sown
my shoes gone more than a mile
YOUNGER: I'm in the cold
for me to know your life to be
wear your shoes as you've asked
walk a mile, naught you just me
your trials revealed, in this arduous task
My soul I sold
for what do I care his life to be now
I've walked the mile and it revealed
his new shoes, to me he did endow
faraway, much he taught and yielded
