Little Bare Feet

Playful footsteps running through the door
muddy footprints all over the floor

Feet splashing in bath time waters
occasionally slipping in the shower

Feet over my head on the park swing
feet in the sand pit joyfully rolling

Hiding feet behind curtains and walls
standing on toes feeling tall

Angry stomping feet evading tears
happy jumping feet testing chairs

Soon these little feet will be ensconced in shoes
shouldering bags and heading to school

Hands wave goodbye, fore head kissed
but the little bare feet will be sorely missed.
