In the soles of my shoes

In the soles of my shoes

by Elizabeth Challinor

Heavy heart

Weighing down

Into the soles of my shoes

It's okay

I understand

It's not always easy to float

In the land of the living

Recently

I've been trying out a new recipe

It only has one ingredient

Kindness

It grows quickly

Like yeast

Doubling time is only an hour and a half

So

I'll start by being kind to you

My heart

In the meantime

Stay as long as you need to

In the soles of my shoes
