My Hiker's toes

Updated: Dec 20, 2025


These feet were made for hiking
These feet were made for hiking










My hiker’s toes to the naked eye

look bruised, battered and torn

Callused by the relentless trails

that they have traveled upon


They have bled and broke

and ached in pain

Protected by the boots that they were in


They have texture and depth

and yes, lost a few nails

but the strength they provide

overwhelmingly prevail


Yet still with obedience

relentlessly they obey,

To the miles ahead of them

required of that day


My hiker’s toes though not a pretty sight

Have a simple, sweet melodic tale

of fighting the good fight


Strong and resilient and beautifully worn

They patiently wait to be where they belong

Back in their place where boots meet the trail

Collecting more stories of a life walked out well


Kai
