My Worn Out Shoes
 


yesterday that mellow haunting whisper that ....
never stops calling

your youth way back when time seemed like it was ....
just crawling

today when time seems to go by way ....
much way to fast

when you squeeze as much as you can from every second
as you try make it last

tomorrow a dream, a wish, a hope, a day promised to no one
a day that never gets here

and still you fear if tomorrow ever comes
when it arrives you won't be there

time ... a journey we would travel back through
back to when it was sweet

but with our worn out shoes
one we can .... not none of us complete

for that trip ... we would need a new set,
if we were to get from here to there

and I'm sorry to say my friend ....
in this life we are all given but a single pair

but though mine are now worn and tattered,
and full of so many holes

the ones made on the road to your friendship
are blessings on my soul
