I would be more than happy to be,
A shoe for my daughter and me.
I would shield her tiny toes,
From all the tears and woes,
For more delicate than flowers is she.
I would be more than happy to be,
A shoe for my son and me.
Like pups he’ll be running,
In summer or winter snowing,
But warm and soft his feet will be.
I would be more than happy to be,
A shoe for you and me.
For time may tear us apart,
Fade memories from our hearts.
And into the trash I’ll go,
With a tattered hole in my toe,
But your footprint forever I’ll have,
Something I’ll take to my grave.
I would be more than happy to be,
A shoe for you and me.
