I slip my feet
\nslippers and all
\ninto my husband\u2019s big boots
\nso big that when I walk
\nthey force me to take giant steps
\nand walk like I am three
\nthis makes me smile
\nthe ground is soggy
\nand squishes when I step
\nas I walk, in my giant feet
\nwith my hands out wide
\nand smile
\nwith childish joy
\nthe days have been rather dreary
\nof late
\nwet and drizzly, not much sun
\nyesterday on a drive
\nhe said to me \u201cI like this song,
\ndo you know this one, Jack of All Trades?\u201d
\nand he turns it up so I can listen
\n\u266a.. I\u2019m a jack of all trades, honey we\u2019ll be alright..\u00a0\u266a
\nI like words and I like lyrics, and
\ni like Love
\nof course he know this
\nso
\nagain in his own way, even
\nin someone else\u2019s words
\nhe has spoken to me
\nof a love that
\nendures
\ntoday, when I think of this
\ntears well
\nand I smile
\nas I squish the soggy ground
\ntaking my giant steps
\nin my husband’s big boots
\nwhen I look up
\nI notice a subtle but definite glow
\nin the sky
\nas the sun starts to sink
\nlow
\nI smile and I thank the world
\nfor loving me
\nso well
\nand for allowing me
\nto
\nlove<\/p>\n
and yes,
\ntoday
\nfor these<\/p>\n
big boots \u2665<\/p>\n
