Foot walks

This is my shoe
My right shoe

And in this shoe
is my right foot

And this foot
has been walking
this earth
for fifty eight
years now

Together with
my left foot

Ain't that something
I ask you
I think it's a miracle
That's what I think

Now you may be thinking
Ah well, what does she mean?
What is she talking about

A foot, god almighty,
a foot, that's all?
Can't she think of something
more important to write about?

Something more clever
something to chew upon
something nobody really
understands

Why can't she use
some interesting metaphor
Why such a low down foot
on a low down floor?

What does this have
to do with me?

And of course
you have a right
to think such
a thing

But it's not
only about MY feet
It's also about
yours
And how many years
your feet have
walked on this earth
of ours

Your feet are
your ever faithful
companions
They never walk away
from you

Always by your side
to take you where
you want to go

And they carry you
Your whole weight
they carry
so that you can
stand on the ground

This is a dedication
to our faithful feet
Right foot, left foot
White foot, brown foot
Big foot, small foot

A foot isn't just
a thing with five toes
and a heel underneath
A foot is a holy creation
Waiting to be treated
like a treasure

A foot is an angel
who carries you around
A foot is an elephant
tough as a mountain
or a stone

It is not irrelevant

A foot is the true servant
of the pedestrian
