The Old Man and the Old Woman in the shoes

by Dahni

Piled high to the ceiling and no more room in the room

would be all the shoes wore out

from years of coming and going

and oh, the tales they could tell

if their tongues were loosed

but instead of shoes

there sits an old man; an old woman

shoes wore out upon their feet

but

their cheeks glow

their faces shine

and their smiles loose the tongues

for happy memories

never wear out!
