On many journeys we have rushed.
Announced my presence in the forests,
and collected much road dust.
Thank you for your faithfulness ,
and your trustworthiness ,
for helping me all these few months.
Thank you for accompanying me
across all forests and reservoir reserves.
To the East like Ubin island, Changi, East coast; To North like the wet land and Sembawang beach;
To the West like Tuas, Jurong and West coast
To the Central like Bukit Timah, and Clementi
To the South like fort canning and Mount Faber
Your are worn and torn...
You have felt all the sensation
of these journey,
the sharp stones,
wet ground,
the dead snakes
and
the heat of the tar road .
You have accompanied me.
You have done what you can.
Time for you to rest now.
Now, my broken shoes,
Today I say goodbye.
My broken shoes,
Thank you for caring
the few weary months.
