The Wedding Shoes
I recall the day we put on our brand new shoes,
yours were smooth dark leather and mine white heels;
after we said I do we walked those shoes out of the church,
at the reception we danced our first dance and all the ones after that.
The best part for me was later when we went for a stroll,
you and me and our shoes alone by the deep blue sea finally married;
on the sand we removed our shoes and walked barefoot,
and finally we lay together under the stars and the moon.
Walking back you picked me up and swung me around,
my white shoes had wings and you were like a mighty forest tree;
your shoes firm on the ground- I never felt so save in my life,
I still have your wedding shoes my darling, I keep them on a shelve.
I never imagined you would be but a name engraved . . .
