P-Shoes and Roads:

Some shoes and roads 
I wish I never put on 
or walked down them, 
but I am here.. 
Alone, with many 
I traveled with 
some for a short time, 
some for a long time, 
and some I barely knew, 
but we all traveled together, 
some part of the road, 
some it was to short of road, 
a bad detour, 
a slippery road 
or ice covered and treacherous.. 
But we walked in together, 
I wish just wish more where here 
to see this mile post and not 
lost along the way at others. 
But then why 
do we walk this road, 
or the roads we walk, 
and wear the shoes we wear? 
And why are they worn so thin 
and thread bares, 
cause it was a road, 
rough or smooth. 
I am here, and glad you 
are here as well! 
but are we ever truely alone, 
or just one travelling 
but part of one band 
of brothers and sisters, 
so who has whose back? 
Next stop, I get the food and drinks, 
you pay for lodging 
and this time ask for directions 
PLEASE!

In memory of all the lost along the road, and the shoes we all wear.
