Magic Sneakers

When I was very young a little boy of five, I had a pair of sneakers that made me feel alive. They were black with white soles, discolored and had several holes. They took me wherever I wanted to go, in outer space, a pirate ship or a mountain covered in snow. I did not have much in those day but I would not know, because my magic sneakers always had me on the go. JSergi

They gave you the freedom and fun of youth... a precious memory. Mine was my dog that went every where with me.
