The shoes that are never worn

are still shoes

But never being worn has made them

feel worthless and lazy.

Not the old, comfortable friend

a pair of shoes should be.

So wear those shoes with pride

ye who have feet

And take comfort in the knowledge

that kindness towards the shoes

Is not unrewarded, for the shoes

are the ones who protect the feet.
