March Poetry Challenge (18th March, 2013)

Old Favourites

I have a favourite pair of shoes
They’re dainty and they’re pink
They don’t fit me at all
And they really aren’t my style.

They belonged to a friend of mine
Who grew out of them too fast
She only wore them once or twice
Or maybe even thrice.

She’s had a million pairs since
And will have a million more,
And she’ll never love them
Quite as much as I.

This favourite pair of shoes I have,
Now half a century old,
Will always be my treasure
Just as their owner is always in my heart.
