The Wives of Charity came by
And gave me shoes, for I had none.
They looked down at me and smiled
As I sat on the floor and tried them on
Until I found a pair that they said fit.
I put them on this morning
And began my hike up the mountain trail
To look for ginseng root.
But I sat on a rock about halfway up
And took those shoes off and left them there.
They hurt my feet,
And besides, I missed the feel of the mountain between my toes.
