Sparkle-step, sparkle-step, colors all aglow Kaleidoscope of shade tones, blue then red then blue Sparkle-step, sparkle-step, skipping heel to toe Explode in firework festivals in ever changing hue Twinkling lights like dancing firelight fliers in ballet Steps from shoe to shoe in orchestrated flight Tiny feet their choreographers strut and then sachet Like miniature aurora borealis on a cold and wintry night Sparkle-step, sparkle-step, colors all aglow Sparkle-step, sparkle-step, skipping heel to toe Little child, little child, you bring delight to see such sight Electric shoes, electric shoes, the light they shine tonight |

smiling at this, because I remember their joy with "light up shoes"--and there is always the memory of my little girl wearing a "twirly skirt" and my son's serious face when he wore camouflage... Thanks for reminding me of little joyful moments. |

An absolutely delightful write to read tonight. You brought a much needed smile to my face. Macy will love this...I am saving it for her return. Patricia |

serenity, this was inspired by a little girl I saw at the restaurant when we went out to eat last night. It was a long wait, and while all the adults looked around at each other like we wished everyone else was NOT there, she was a refreshing delight with her "special" shoes...glad it reminded you of your kids Pat, so glad you liked it...hopefully Macy will too. I think I have commented on hers, as well. |

I asked my husband, after reading this aloud, what he thought it was about...and he said, "no idea". HeheHe. It reminds me of when I was little and doing a "shuffle step" rendition of "How much is that doggie in the window". It reads fun, anyway! McLean |

Steaven~ What joy ! 'Twinkling lights like dancing firelight fliers in ballet Steps from shoe to shoe in orchestrated flight Tiny feet their choreographers strut and then sachet Like miniature aurora borealis on a cold and wintry night' Oh yes ... the little feet dance with the laughter of the lights~ PRECIOUS~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
