A WEE BIT OF HEAVEN...

A WEE BIT OF HEAVEN

A wee bit of heaven
drifted down from above-
A handful of happiness,
a heart full of love.

The mystery of life,
so sacred and sweet-
The giver of joy
so deep and complete.

Precious and priceless,
so lovable, too-
The world's sweetest miracle,
baby, is you.

-Helen Steiner Rice-

There is something so infinitely sweet about little baby shoes where tiny feet are sheltered as first steps are taken, adventuring into the world with exploration, hesitancy, and exuberance. In the last few weeks I have had the pleasure of watching my precious granddaughter take her first steps. The pride and joy on her face as she toddles to and fro is thing of beauty to behold.

I stopped in a flea market yesterday and found these darling little baby shoes. They belonged to " Tammy" or at least that is what was written on the side of the box , probably her first three pairs of shoes. Sweet satin ballet slippers with white satin ties and gauzy ruffles...Sweet silver jingle bells tied to the toes of these soft white leather shoes must have kept baby amused as she kicked her little feet cooing and smiling at the magical tinker bell like sound...And when Tammy was ready to toddle a sturdy pair of Red Goose Shoes stood at the ready, scuffed heels, scuffed toes, and even a little dirt left on the soles...These precious shoes make my heart melt. The bright white has faded to an aged cream, like a precious memory, a sweet yesteryear dream. Precious and priceless, sacred and sweet, a wee bit of heaven are the steps that are taken by new little feet.
