Footwear

The tale is told,
Of the footwear we wear,
We sometimes don't appreciate it,
Other times we do.

Have you ever thought,
What in the world would happen,
If ever shoe or slipper,
Or boot or sneaker.

Would retaliate against us,
For the treatment they get,
For we step on them,
What if, they stepped on us.

We would be out numbered for sure,
Every family, having more than one pair,
We might not even go out,
We would be filled with fright.

If we put on our footwear,
It would attack,
What would we do,
Could we fight?

Think again,
We throw them away,
When they no longer provide,
The needed protection.

What if that was us,
How would we feel?
They have experienced dirt,
Filth, mud and water.

We take them for granted,
For what they do for us,
What have we done for them,
How much do we owe them.

Footwear is improtant,
We need them most often,
Think about how we wear them,
How they protect us.

How would they feel,
If they are not used,
What should we do,
The right thing, for sure.

We should.
