They are big
real big!
I slowly place one foot after another
in mama’s shoes;
one
then two
wiggling my feet to fit .
Mama’s shoes are a challenge
they are shoes of
gentleness
kindness
grace
endurance
forgiveness
and
finding joy
in every moment.
Mamas shoes are heavy
Mama’s feet were big
my feet are small
my feet wiggle alot
in mama’s shoes
missing a few steps
here and there
yet I know
Mama’s shoes are worth trying on.

I wrote a poem with a similar theme back in college. I love this, and I love the photo you have to go with it!
Thank you Becca 🙏. I would love to read your poem. I enjoyed writing this one as a tribute to my late mama but also for the many beautiful women that have held my hand over the years. To my little girl, hoping she will grow to face life only trusting God’s grace as her lead.💝
Cute pictures! I loved the poem.
Thank you very much 🙏
So happy you visited my blog today and hit the like button since that led me here. I look forward to reading more of your posts. God Bless.
My little granddaughter who used to totter around in my shoes now wears the exact same size as I do, and she is only 10!
That’s very beautiful. It’s even better if they can wear your shoes somewhere. There’s something really special about trying on grandma’s shoes…. I think of it as special and comforting.🙏
She wore my boots Saturday to muck out a barn. Thanks.
Very nicely written and I think SO true. Thank you.
Thank you very much Sharon 🙏💝
Sweet!
Thank you very much 🙏
This is precious! I pray every day that I live in a way that my shoes are worth walking in.<3
Thank you Jessica ❤. I am sure you already do. I know for a fact that as parents if seek to live lives honoring to the Lord then our shoes will definitely be worth walking in. Like our children learning to hide God’s word in their hearts when they see us do so when we read from our Bibles. 🌹
love it!
Thank you very much 🙏
Another great poem!
Thank you Deborah. My little girl loves trying on my shoes; someone I like to look at as a metaphor of daughters or children imitating parents.
Great glimpse into growing up!
Thank you 🙏
Wonderful! Thank you!
