These shoes on my feet
Are the ones I chose to wear
Though they may not be in fashion
My life is held in this single pair

If they are wrong for walking
Only I can change them
Should they be correct…
Only I can wear them

I cannot wear your shoes
You cannot wear mine
For we have not walked the same road
And these shoes are in our minds

Enjoyed it as much as the other.

Your poems seem to bring up the emotions in me.

Look forward to more.

Isn't it interesting how much character shoes convey about their owners?  

I found this an interesting 'conveyance' of understanding, and poetically done!
