How Beautiful the Feet


HOW BEAUTIFUL THE FEET


I COULDN'T TELL YOU
IF SHE HAS CORNS OR BUNIONS
WEARS WHITE SNEAKERS PAST LABOR DAY
WEARS EASY SPIRIT OR UGGS
BUT SHE HAS DONE A MITZVAH FOR ME
AND BROUGHT ME HAPPINESS
HOW BEAUTIFUL THE FEET
OF THOSE WHO BRING JOY TO THE SICK
WHOSE ONLY RECOMPENSE IS FRIENDSHIP
WHOSE ONLY MOTIVE IS FRIENDSHIP
AND TO WHOM I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL
