My Favourite Shoes

My Favourite Shoes New shoes bought at great expense, soft and supple leather, Sturdy heels with non slip soles, fit for any weather. One may declare without a doubt These shoes are surely strong and stout. Shoes that know just when to dance, when to walk or run. Shoes that given half a chance, stride out to have some fun. They’ll take you where you want to be And bring you back; or set you free. Handmade shoes that last for years, and travel many miles, Crossing bridges, strolling lanes, through the fields, and over stiles. O’er life’s great map still tramping on To see the world before it’s gone. Time marches on, by its side, these shoes keep up the pace. They’re old and scuffed, down at heel; in fact, a right disgrace. But throw them out, I could not do For comfort is a worn old shoe. "My Favorite Things" contest Sponsored by: farah chamma

Great poem. I had thought of shoes as necessities but they certainly qualify as favorite things in this lovely poem. Congratulations. Joyce

Margaret, I have to laugh when I read this. I have probably forty pairs of shoes, and half of them look like CRAP. that's because I am VERY hard on shoes and my feet sweat too (oh, my goodness, the smell of my gym shoes could kill you). These poor shoes of yours would probably wither right on my feet. Luv ya, Andrea
