Footprints
The floor was filled and varnished,
With utmost skill and care.
To walk theron till it was dry,
Surely no one would dare.
But one did dare and proudly strode,
A kingly fellow he!
Walked boldly in, nor careful tread,
My son, then not yet three.
The years have swiftly come and gone,
But still close by the door,
Beneath a rug I cherish those
Wee footprints on my floor.
