Sandals Awaiting A roman road, Long and ongoing Over all hills, Never around. We can't dodge #life, Straight on it goes. Through all terrain Happy times, Sad times, Rough times. Your feet may grow tired, Of marching this road. For the bumps are too many, And the hard ground bites at your feet. My sandals are worn, For they can only cope with so much. New pairs are precious, But they do exist! They are gems that we often miss. An option we turn down, We made the wrong decision. Didn't go there, Never contacted them. Something we regret, and don't know what it was. Don't loose hope, Learn to see the gem. Our sandals awaiting our feet.

Once I Knew A Mirror Once I knew a mirror, Good friends we were. He hung upon that wall, Everyday and every night. Patient and waiting, For when I next came. Never doubted me, Never frowned. Always smiled, Always cheery. Most uplifting, In the hardest of times. My mirror, hung upon my wall. 'Carry on' 'never give up' My Mirror would say. As I'd stare into The reflecting glass, Which somehow entered my soul. No problem you can't defeat, No mountain you can't climb. My mirror would remind me. Until one day, Shatters my mirror became. At midnight, Smashing the silence. All on the floor, In sharp broken pieces. Who do I go to now? When I cannot climb that mountain. For sharp shatters are no use, When all is falling down around you. All that's left is a blank wall. Just a solid thing, No comfort it brings. Only to shun my eyes away, For its unpleasant look scares me.
