These shoes have walked a million miles <br />with the souls of men <br />who will never see <br />the sun rise again. <br />They walked beside great armies <br />as they rose to fight <br />in foreign far away lands. <br />These shoes saw the birth of nations <br />near and far <br />and the death of a child <br />that touch many hearts dear. <br />They watched great cities rise <br />and then crumble to dust. <br />These shoes that have walked a million miles <br />and then back again. <br />Though great have come and gone <br />these shoes still walk on <br />looking for life’s freedom be <br />within the soul of men. <br />They have observed many great things <br />on their journey <br />but the greatest treasure <br />that they sought <br />these shoes have yet to find.. <br /> <br /> <br />12 October 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/these-shoes-4/
