Steel Toe

Stumbled over my feet
when I went to make my stand
cut down to the quick
i guess i want to feel it
pain in these hands
five o'clock
the suns not up
coffee tin
which way is the wind  
northbound today
I'll lace em up
till they dress me up
tied in my roots and dna
been with me for every step  
my steel toes

Author's Note
Wanted to write something about many of my friends and neighbor's.  There is purpose in good work. They are resilient and rough a little dirty one way or another. Like those boots!
