Worn With Pride

I shan’t be challenged by your shine Nor made to feel the weaker No dress shoe ever took the place Of a family member’s sneaker You may be worn to special places And too, to gala events But when it comes to relaxing times I know with whom it’s spent With me, with me, I’m always there For comfort and for style When needed to compete in races I’m there for every mile I withstand the test of time As I evolve each year But shoes can be so closet kept While sneakers stay out here So let me tell you here and now Though I may have a rubber soul Shoes be gone, you’re so passé For sneakers have control
