It's Just A Shoe

It's just a shoe I saw
on the living room floor,
black sequined,
high heeled,
laying on it's side
where she'd kicked it off
as she stumbled in the door.
We'd danced and played
late into the night
and finally came home,
slightly high,
giggling, shssshing,
as we tried not
to wake the kids,
and giggling again,
as that sparkling shoe
bounced off the lamp
to land in the middle of the room.
She's sleeping now,
this wife of mine,
though mornings come
and the sun is kissing her cheek.
I sip my coffee
and smile in thought…
It's just a shoe,
I think again,
but how I love that woman,
who puts it on her feet.

Thanks,Rainydays, the "shssshing" just seemed to fit.

And JM - thanks much...missed you too. Been
sidetracked by other things...writing seemed
to be last in line...was hoping I still could and you know me...romance seemed to be the place to start again...

Romance is always the best place to
start...I loved the idea in this....how one
small object can bring back so many
thoughts...what a GREAT write this is!!!!
