I'm a pair of shoes
My nature
Is to be at the bottom
Stepped on
Play with dirt
Drown in rain
Until
I'm all torn
Faded
Out of style
No longer needed
Or better yet
No longer wanted
So
My final nature
Is to be thrown away
Not a glimpse
Of guilt
Of compassion
Of gratitude
Of love
Because I'm just nothing
But a pair of shoes
But I am thankful
To be able to serve
And be of good use
I helped them get to places
Without hurting their feet
Keep them warm at times of cold
Let them walk tall--
Knowing that they are well supported
