The morning arrived, the morning of days, The biggest, greatest day of my life. I laid out my work suit, from the tie to the shoes, And then I kissed my beautiful wife. Trousers done tight, my flat ironed shirt, Woolly, warm socks covering my feet. And I slid both of them into both of my shoes, My laces would make me complete. Till then I used a binding, loopy, granny knot, Often coming loose, slipping to undo. It occurred a reef knot would hold tight all day long, Hold my foot tight inside of my shoe. So I changed in that moment, for the rest of my life, I now stride high with a skip and a song. My shoelaces are reef knotted, not a flimsy insecure, Staying tight for all the day long. For contest Something Seemingly Insignificant and Unexpected Changed My Life - Poetry Contest, June 2016
