Tiny satin slippers
Worn so long
ago
Best of life's mementos
That give my
heart a glow
See them bright and
shiny
Just like they were back then
Heart
is filled with joyfulness
When gazed upon
again
See you as a
baby
Then I turn around
There you are all
grown up
My pride and love
abounds
Little hands that reached
out
Held to me so tight
Feel that warmth
within me
Sweet love that still
ignites
Kept within a treasure
chest
With all life's memories
Little
satin slippers
They mean so much to
me
Life for me a precious gift
It
always seems to stay
These precious satin
slippers
Have warmed my heart
today.
