A pair of old slingbacks, she coveted for ages,

all shunkle and sparkle with cute kitten heels,

memories of spinning, between parent and child,

a lifetime of pavements and intricate steps,

champagne parties, bedrooms and strange chaps,

each step a memory, matured, and sublime,

they’ve travelled a journey and still –

how they shine!
