I reach my destination

Walking in my pretty shoes

They have a comfortable fit

Neither too tight nor loose

They shield me from stones and thorns

Spread on the country road

Do not let dirt soil my feet

When on a muddy path I trod

They have stylish high heels,

Flamboyant shade of pink

They make a fancy party wear

Shining differently, I think

In fact my pinkish sandals are

Symbol of forward movement

Every time I put them on,

I feel in me an improvement

Their color’s soft and solicitous

Their touch is sheer luxury

They bring in me my very best and

Make me look extraordinary
