DUSTY BOOTS In the corner a pair of boots sit with dust gathering upon them but if those boots could speak I'm sure they'd have a story to tell. For you see these boots have wandered through freshly plowed fields of farmers, across rivers and streams of hunters and fishermen alike.. They've hiked many trails, and saw many mountain tops. These boots have danced the Texas two step. And ran through blazing fires. And they've even helped to walk a child safetly across the street. They have marched in parades and through the jungles of wars, and desert sands. These boots have carried the wounded,sick, and yes even the dying and dead. Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, |

. Remembrance Eventually this is all one has of the long strong column sweating down the road. The captain in front with a cane he doesn't need. Sounds of boots, their dusty notes in unison. A short time sergeant staying out of the sun. Watching man by man marching on mile by mile through the tiger hour. John . |

Froggy friend, please stand up and take a bow for this exceptionally fine write! I believe this to be one of my favourites of yours! If only those boots could speak! But then again, you have just spoken for them ~ and very poetically at that! So good to be reading your poetry again! Giving you a big, warm hug-o-love, Linda  |
