Saving Boots<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They’re still in the barn<\/p>\n
His dozens of worn boots<\/p>\n
Waffle stompers they’re called<\/p>\n
Look it up<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When in Alaska<\/p>\n
I discovered old boots<\/p>\n
Would become planters<\/p>\n
Boots still working<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While saving his boots<\/p>\n
He was feeling<\/p>\n
Both honored and<\/p>\n
Thinking me crazy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This one style boot family<\/p>\n
Size 10 Field & Stream<\/p>\n
Allowed for that broken toe<\/p>\n
On his left foot<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Having earned their keep<\/p>\n
I will haul them to the yard<\/p>\n
Spray inside and out<\/p>\n
With the garden hose<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Planting each with flowers<\/p>\n
I’m tempted to lay them<\/p>\n
At random graves in the cemetery<\/p>\n
Where he had dug for fifty years<\/p>\n
