All These Shoes 2
by Richard L. Provencher As a Child: I kicked off little shoes blue as the sky, one went Whoosh-Klunk, the other skimmed like a butterfly then I ran through puddles and water flew mud spattered too, mommy said it's okay 'cause I'm her boy I was four. As a Teen: I kicked off big sneakers as Angela blew a kiss, she's a friend and I hurried to charge the rugby ball we wrestled and tugged as young men do, testing muscles and speed , she knew I rode the wind and could score too. As an Adult: I sit on the edge of our couch pull off expensive shoes one at a time. Tired from work feels nice, home again my little boy runs to me gives a great big hug, says "I love you dad." Feels so good from my little man. It's time to tell him a story -- of a little boy and how much fun it is to run through puddles, kicking up mud yelling, having lots of fun and remember, little Jesus liked to splash too. Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
