Secret Red Shoes
The Secret
for Kelly Sauer
When I was a girl,
I wanted shoes like Dorothy's.
Red sparkled, to fend off
witches, grant my wishes.
Mine were leather,
with a strap.
I walked into life
anyway, where I found
a red-lipped me,
a star-like you.

Love those shoes!
this made me absolutely cry this morning. and I've even seen it already.
thank you for your bright love on a very hard day...
What a wonderful tribute to Kelly!
This is beautiful. Like her. :)
This is a wonderful little poem. So much conveyed in so few words.
wonderful!
sounds like you got a few of those wishes...smiles.
Isn't it lovely how wishes come true. (Sweet photo.)
This is very sweet. I think we were all enamored with Dorothy at some time in our lives. I know I was. Loved the Wizard of Oz as a little girl.
click your heels 3 times and watch the magic happen..
small poem, big in content.
much enjoyed this!
Love this! A very sweet poem. I always wanted red shoes as a child...not practical, my mother said...so now as an adult I have a favorite pair of red keens for summer and one for winter...not sparkly, but I wear them nearly every day:-)
ahh my shoes don't sparkle but the word verification is "glowing" (hee, hee, hee)
Looks like you made the wishes come true with out the shoes or fighting off a wicked witch..haha
i love everything about this poem. the words, the rhythm, the whimsy, the dream, the love.
"I walked into life

Those shoes are great.
Once I bought my daughter ruby shoes and she promptly jumped in the pool with them...she wished they were mermaid flippers she said.
