shoes

if these shoes could talk,

they would tell of the miles i have walked.

the places i have seen, the people i have met,

the beggar on the street that beat me in a bet.

the lonely people just looking for a place to call home,

but doing nothing at night, nothing but roam.

the stories i have heard and the people to tell them so,

how lucky am i, lucky enough to know....

to know that i have a place to call home at night,

while in other countries survival is a fight.

i am blessed to say i have seem many miles,

but lucky for me most of the way has been smiles.

to the people around the world,

just begging for a hope,

i pray that i can been their escape boat.

to be there for them until the very end,

to open my heart,

to call them a friend.

oh if these shoes could talk,

i could tell the stories of the miles I've walked.
