There is something to say
For worn leather shoes
Creased from the effort,
And also abuse.
Old leather shoes
don't complain when worn loose.
Nor do they break after bending.
Solemnity,
Ah, black shoe shine glistens
Tread long since used,
it's abhorrently smooth.
They don't fall apart
when broken or battered.
They will lace on,
Though life left them tattered.
mud filling the cracks, tears, scratches?
They keep on, why should that matter?
Finally this, my mind matches.
they drudge on because they don't know how to quit.
I wear worn leather shoes, mine are a perfect fit.
