Life and Footwear

Booties on tiny feet Skipping in new white tennies Wobbling in first high heels Gliding in wedding slippers Chasing kids in sensible flats Arthritic fingers and velcro straps ... No shoes needed in the after- life

But you will walk with me on the streets of glory ... the golden slippers are secured for you. Like honey from a sweet sweet heart, your poem comes.

Very witty, Barbara. I haven't seen any shoes painted on angels' feet in pictures. I like the progression from the "booties" to the "velcro straps." Nicely done, Barbara! Love, Carolyn
