LJ Idol week 6 "Solvitur ambulando"

[irradescent]

That time I was dumped

And walked four point two miles

Until the tears stopped

When the bus passed by

And I couldn’t call a cab

Tightened those shoe strings

Walks with my grandpap

Down those long country dirt roads

Always in my heart

And now in the snow

I still trudge on with my boys

Their joy, my heart cheers

Survival or strength

Walking has never failed

I like how concise yet rich your words are.

Thank you! :)

I like the simple stories told in these little snippets, and how the running theme ties them all together. Nicely done.

[irradescent]

Thank you!

For whatever reason I really liked this line: "Tightened those shoe strings"
:)

This was nicely done. I love the image of walking in various situations. And the picture at the end was a lovely touch.

This is beautiful.
