Walking Side By Side

My little feet tripping walking begun To keep up with my mothers bigger ones And quietly years just roll alongside With walking running matching stride for stride I wonder when those little feet outgrew Laced up booties buckled shoes gumboots too And as we both stand with my feet all grown Tall as the mirror stands with laughs outshone Looking at the grey with so many wrinkles And as we slow our pace and rest rekindles Holding hands of grandchildren small feet abide With walking resting matching stride for stride The circle of life we walk with much pride Two sets of happy feet walk side by side. 8.3.2021 Hexsonnetta-10 syllables per line.
