The Red Shoes (poem) by Joyce E Bowling on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on November 1, 2006

OMIGOSH!! How wonderful to find a treasure like that, Joyce - and then, write about it for us to share!

RED SHOES are very important to my elder daughter and myself - she has loved them since she was a tiny child of 3...and I still even call her "RUBY-2-SHOES"!

When we had her going away party before Bible College, I found a delicate music box from San Francisco Music Box Company, with a rainbow,[the Promise] a butterfly [my logo] and a pair of RUBY SLIPPERS [her heart] She was so delighted...I wept.

You will never know how precious this is to me. Thank you for the Blessing, Joyce! I'll send it to her, and put it into my Treasure Vault for safe keeping.

Love, Rhonda

It is true that some things hold a special meaning that one can "feel." This is often a stimulation for the imagination as you have so effectively stated via your verses here. Thank you, Joyce. Love and peace to you,

Well sister, it sounds as if you may have found a pair of newborn baby shoes. For sure they were not mine: I wore ones. A lovable mystery. Love Louisa

Mysteries like this give life a certain savor. You write here of these mysteries with the innocence of a curious child.

Marvelous thoughts ....
