Shoes

For a contest

I spent $20

On these shoes

Bold white laces

Leather paint colored blue

The clerk smiled 

when they rang up these shoes

I worked real hard

To buy these for you

The wind teased my face

When I walked out

Of that shoe selling place

A text saying HELP!

Increased my pace

Frantically I drove home

Against Time I raced.

I forgot to turn the car off

When I made for the door

What I saw next

Was my wife bleeding on the floor

The paramedics tried all they can do

Holding my wife's hand

Comforting for what she going through

My thoughts drift of you

How great you would of looked

if you had lived

In these Blue 

New Born pair of Shoes.
