Childhood Poems

miscarriage; a little red shoe at roadside;

Keen for action, bidding for attention.

A little shoe that sure has lots of adventures

To tell of its young master;

Of visitations to the supermarket

With daddy when I got lost among

The toys department Tarzan collections,

Of refreshing exercises

In the school grass field

In the first light of morn,

Of trips to the movie when I had

Hugged daddy tight when a horror

Face had appeared,

Of the chase in the park for

The fun of scarrying away the birds.



Tears trickle down my cheeks brought

On by a lost child; the same shoe size!
