My Journey to God

Little Feet

Where are you going little feet?
Dusty beyond possible cleaning
Tinted red from the soil
And calloused by the stones
For lack of shoes.

Where are you going little feet?
Burdened by the weight of the wood
Carried to make a fire
Several times a day
To feed family.

Where are you going little feet?
Walking together with other little feet
Small only in size,
But giant in bearing
The weight of the world.
