My first farming boots:
I wore them everywhere.
To work.
To school.
Even to the grocery store.
My first farming boots:
They worked.
I worked in them.
Without them, would I be the same?
No. I wouldn’t.
My first farming boots:
They meant something.
Friendship?
With boots?
No. They linked me to my friend.
Wearing them made me cool?
No. It made me feel liked.
My first farming boots:
My first real friend.
He made them become my first farming boots:
I love him for that.
He introduced me to a world.
A world I love to this day.
A world I desire everyday.
Words from the Author – Riley Hilyard
I wrote this because I like farming and my first boots meant a lot to me. While writing this I thought more about what made the boots feel special to me, Thinking back it wasn’t the boots. It was the friendship I got because of the farm.
Revision Decision:
This is really about friendship. Not my first farm boots, but I thought deeply into this and I think it is perfect for me.
