GOLDEN SANDALS, by                    
First Line: Women of beauty, golden-sandal shod
Last Line: Dances through life on golden-sandalled feet!
Subject(s): Sonnet (as Literary Form)


Women of beauty, golden-sandal shod,
Passionate Sappho, Trojan Helen fair,
Glamorous are the golden shoes they wear
Almost too beautiful to touch the sod.
Often I cannot help but think it odd
You single out for such adoring care
A pair of little feet all white and bare,
But when you kneel to kiss, I pray to God.
Gift of my darling, gold that is the sheerest,
Delicate, dainty, exquisitely neat—
Ever I'll hold him closest and nearest,
Eager to serve and make each moment sweet,
Give him such joy that he will think his dearest
Dances through life on golden-sandalled feet!
