Have you ever let your feet
take you where they please?
Have you ever walked for miles
to find trivial troubles ease?
Once, I freed my little feet,
I followed aimelessly.
I found myself on paths,
that once were lost to me.
My feet lead me to a sandy beach,
My feet kicked off my shoes,
I nestled in the silky sand,
I needed no excuse.
Once, while walking to the shops,
They chose the other way,
'Not today! ', I thought, perturbed,
'I need to shop today...'
My feet took me to a park,
My feet kicked off my shoes,
I sank into the dewy grass,
How could I refuse?
Once, while rushing off to work,
my feet paused on the road,
We stopped to face the old white Cross,
all in auto-mode.
My feet took me into Church,
My feet kicked off my shoes,
I felt white marble, cool & sweet,
I knelt within the pews.
As I bowed my head to pray,
and felt the sweet shalom,
I heard the silence in my soul,
I knew that I was home.
