Trying on your shoes...
I see a wide eyed little girl
trying on some big shoes.
It is too big for her.
She is upset.
She is upset with her feet.
As she sat with her face buried
A hug warmed her and she looked up
Her father smiled down at her
She complained again about her little feet
He looked down and rolled his eyes and smiled!
He put his feet next to hers
They were big and they fit the shoes
He told her, that her feet were exactly like his
The shape, the colour and even how the toes were!
He told her that one day her feet will be bigger than his
And he would need to get her bigger shoes!
The girl was happy and hugged him back
And she put her feet closer to his and looked
Yes, they were similar, except the sizes
The girl thought one day I will be like him
One day I will fit his shoes.
The girl grew up...
She has big feet now ...
She measures up against the old shoes.
But they are still big for her.
But she is happy she does not fit it.
She knows that she will never fit it.
Walking through life,all over the world...
Happily in your big shoes:-)
We love you!
