Clown Shoes I found my clown shoes in the trash. That’s not where they belong. I put them on and tied them twice. To take them off was wrong. I ask that you put on yours, too. Let’s set our friendship right. There is no need for it to end. Make sure you tie them tight. We’ll wear our clown shoes all the time and as good friends, we’ll grow. Of other things, we’ll never talk. Pretend we do not know. Come back, I’m worth a second chance. Much happier you’ll be. On bended knee, I ask you please, My friend, come back to me. Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

I didn't see your first version, but this is very nice. I'm sure your friend will come back when you ask so nicely. Joyce |

Hi Augueste, This was wonderful, sometimes things happen between friends and if there is something there you should still have a friend, Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Michael--A very tender verse you've penned for your friend. |

Joyce and Cerenity, I know that a simple poem is not enough. I hope that prayer will work. Thank you both. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

Martie and Betsy, Thank you both for reading. I hope she responds also. I'd very much like to have her back so that we can forge an even greater friendship together. She's a true treasure. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

Greeneyes, Please keep them crossed tightly. I'd do anything to get her back. She's a sweet and remarkable woman, a great lady. Thank you. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |
