Bare Feet All The Way
Grant Hope #77
Bare feet all the way
Ever since we were young
the pointed pride on the soles of her feet would come to insistently play
goofily scolding if I couldn’t stand on the ground barefoot with my padre
Taking each step to go the distance and more
from the joy of play
to chasing through school
straight and narrow from child to adulthood
Every step on this earth built the unwavering foundation of us
We are the conscience of each others’ mind and step
Life’s turbulent trials and jubilant joys
all easier and better with her around
Coffee skin
red and white plaid
She’s an absolute picnic
and like her
I’m glad to have the best of life’s pickings
the force of each step is the heart of our sound
