I found you fit snugly
like a second skin.
You served me well
for eleven years.
We've seen snow and sand,
stream and stone,
crag and peak.
Through miles mundane
and majestic.
Your soft pliant sturdy leather
has been with me
on ocean beaches
in quiet woods
and lonesome reaches.
But the wintry Chicago streets
took their salty tole
on your rubber soles
and the time has come
to say goodbye.
