Old Shoes (August Contest)

There's many shoes in her closet
From her college years,
The four inch pumps she wore,
She holds up to the light
The pumps she met him in
When she found love, had her first child,
Then jumped the broom.
Now in her silver years,
These shoes she recollects.

Heels, flip flops, sneakers, sandals covers her closet floor
She puts them back in their place.

Hi Hawaiian honey lol

I like the way you defined the stages of life by the type shoes worn. Where you have "lines" should be line I think. Good luck in contest..........stan
