BOOTS TO HEAL

Boots to Heal,

from Souls who Care.

Your cross alone,

you should not bear.

Sun and Moon; Stars at night,

will shine on you through this tough fight.

Standing Tall in Boots so Proud,

stacked heel of wood and hide of cow.

Remember when those first steps took.

How you felt.  How you looked.

A new pair of Boots to become your friend,

a dear close friend to the very end.

Daily armor protecting your foot,

the sole bearing the weight of each step took.

Through all the rain and storms felt,

with Cowboy Spirit; Booted-Up and Buckled-Belt.

Looking straight; Head Held High,

your Soul Shines Strong through your eye.

There are times you feel all alone,

and times you just want to go home.

Being of tired flesh and bone,

Dear Child of God, on this walk you are Never alone.

On the longest of trails there are Souls who Care,

the weight of your cross will feel like air.
