Daddy's ShoesA Poem by Michael G. SmithMake Believe in Daddy's ShoesDaddy’s shoes calling Imagination feels safe One foot then two And I’m standing in his place
For just a moment I’m the king, soldier brave Slaying dragons Before the end of each day
And the next piloting 9 to 5 into outer space Fighting off hordes of aliens Saving the entire human race
When, finally the battles won All riches are embrace Flying home to the prince heir Again, putting my enchanted shoes back in place
There they’ll be Years to their inheritance Waiting magically For the next prince to lace
Daddy’s shoes calling Imagination feels safe One foot then two And I’m standing in his place
