A Shoe Story

A pair of shoes sits on the table at a baby shower
Everyone is anticipating what the person will be like who fills them.
Too soon another pair appears on the feet of a stumbling toddler 
Then the child tries daddy's shoes and clunks around the room
Through out life these shoes will be hard ones to fill 
School shoes park by the door in the summertime 
Children are too busy filling days with laughter to fill shoes
Sports shoes are fitted and with them comes responsibility
Bare feet become a thing of the past.
Feet are now used for dancing, cheering and playing
This means many kinds of shoes of different shapes and colors
High heels and work boots now wait in the closet to be filled with feet
Comfortable shoes make it easier to carry children. 
But grandpa's shoes are so out of style!
Before long they sit idle as he looks at his  feet lying in bed
The grandchildren stand on tip toes in their busy shoes to plant a kiss 
So goes another generation of shoes
