SOLES SHOES

Growing up i only had one, my favorite pair.

the precious first, you admire day in and night out.


First day worn your steps smooth as if it was made of glass cautious of breaking it.
water, rocks, avoided but still covered 
in that red dust the whole country seem to be
blessed with.

New shoes only in the box where it remained,

                                                                                    bare feet was a untold story to everyday

                                                                                    children of Africa.

                                                                                    My favourite pair was my soles feet.
