BLACK AND RED SHOES

She wore black shoes
but liked men who wore red shoes.
She was traditional
and he was flamboyant.
She was responsible
and he was a truant.
But he made her feel excited
and when he kissed her, sparks exploded.
He made her laugh
and he was always smiling.
He took her on adventures,
but what he didn't realize
is that he was the adventure.

They made a life together
and they had kids,
and each of the kids
was embodied with some of his sparkle.
