Ruby Slippers – v2

A pair of ruby slippers

sequined and well-worn;

Old friends gingerly placed,

lovingly left for another day

I don’t know their owner;

but I have seen the smiles, the glee

I can imagine, from my own little princesses

and their joy in dress-up;

time when their wonder, magic,

rubs off on me

Oh, I can imagine her so well

and the giggles that erupt

each time she slips them back on;

these old friends left for another day

placed just so
