His feet were so small,
standing in his father shoes,
flip-flops to be precise.
it would be many years before he
could stand with comfort
in those sandals.
That was not his concern,
as much trying to watch the cartoons
flashing on the screen.
He was completely oblivious to father
sitting a few feet away watching
the way his son stumbled
lightly
trying to wear his shoes.
The father thought ahead in time,
which his son could not do.
To a time when his son would be wearing
his own shoes,
Being his own man.
The child tripped over the large sandal
and fell to the ground.
His eyes immediately cast upon his father
who just smiled.
it would be many years before he
could stand with comfort
in those sandals.
