Without my Shoes
April 29, 2014
To return to the time when I walked barefoot.
Days are filled with adventure and fun.
Running through the woods in search of treasure.
I feel the grass tickle my toes.
I climb the highest tree with no fear.
Is there enough daylight to finish playing?
Time passes
Since when are my days are filled with work and worry?
Running through the house in search of my phone.
I started to feel my feet hurt.
Suddenly fear is a constant struggle.
Is there enough time to finish my work today?
When did I put my shoes back on?
