~Those Little Shoes~

Mary Janes. These were your favorite pair of shoes. These shoes have traveled a lot. Been to many places. Seen many adventures. Oh, how you loved those shoes! I had to get a photograph of you in your little shoes to document for the memory album. I remember that warm summer day so vividly. I was watching you play from where I sat on the bench-swing, delighting in the sweet, warm smells of summer and watching you as you did the stuff that children do. You were in your own little world. Singing. Dancing. Play-acting. Digging up worms. On a "bug-hunt." Walking on the flower-box. And as I sat there watching you, I was filled with happiness and gratefulness in watching your happiness and delight and the simplicity of just being a child. Then came a sadness, as I thought to myself: You'll never fit in these shoes again. Once this season is over, you will have outgrown them, as you will have outgrown many other things in this brief time that we call childhood.
So I treasure this photo and the precious memories that it carries with it. Memories of the innocence of childhood and all of its captivating joys, giggles, explorations, make-believe, magic, and dreams that come along with it - even all those little scrapes and boo-boos :)
No. You'll never fit in these little shoes again. The shoes you fill now are on a different journey of their own. A journey that will take you down different paths than those of that day. Make the journey a good one, sweet girl. I'm curious about where the path leads. But I'm in no hurry to get there. No. I think I'll just sit here and delight in the moment of now. Today. All paths lead some where. I pray yours is blessed.
