New path

Got me a new pair of feet

I'm putting on a new me

So this is how it feels

When a pair of socks concours 

With the shape of the feet

No longer like potatoes

Like I used to joke around

The muscles weaned off

So I called it chopsticks instead

I didn't want to be mocked

Or let myself down

I glided with positive vibes 

Hoping for something new

Because the inner me

Hungered for heels, boots and flat shoes 

I'd long adored them on others

I desperately needed one, too

Hopefully, I can wear one soon

Thanks to God in heaven 

Made my long-term dream come true

I owe Him all I have

My profound gratitude

He has great plans for the future

This, I'm sure

My hands in His': 

Guiding me forevermore
