Walking In My Shoes
by Deborah Smith Plemmons

Three granddaughters: as different as day and night.
They love to play dress up; oh, what a sight!

The first put on something simple, casual.
She chose the shoes that weren't so unusual.
She walked here; she walked there.
She walked in my shoes everywhere.

The second adorned herself with a frilly dress.
She wore my high heels, as you can guess.
A look in the mirror to straighten her hair,
She walked in my shoes everywhere.

The third, oh my, how active and happy;
No casual dress, no frills, nothing sappy.
She slipped into my house shoes, beware!
She walked in my shoes everywhere.

Whether casual, dress, or house shoes I portray,
They may walk again in my shoes someday.
May my life be all that is pleasing to God,
So my granddaughters will choose His paths to trod.

A fourth granddaughter has come our way.
Will she want to walk in my shoes one day?
