Well Worn Soles
Worn thin over a life of travel

Well Worn Souls

Old shoe, broken battered
A testament to miles traveled
Over rocks and jagged peaks
Through the valleys, brooks and creeks

Tattered laces, thinning soles
The leathers cracked and drying
Tired yet still wearing on
Old perhaps, but holding strong

Old man, broken battered
A testament to life’s travels
Over seas and bloody beaches
Charging onward through the breaches

A broken heart, and weary soul
His hands are cracked and drying
Tired yet still wearing on
Old perhaps, but holding strong


*For my Granddad and those who sacrificed with him*
