The Girl With Small Feet

Once there was a girl

With feet just like a doll.

She had such tiny feet

She couldn’t walk at all.

She loved the outside world,

She admired from her seat.

But this poor young girl

Never felt the grass on her feet.

Her parents tried their best

To soothe her wanderlust

But she wanted to walk so badly

She felt she might combust.

The doctors said it was hopeless

Which saddened her to no end

But then she met a girl like her

Who thought small feet were a trend

One girl wanted to stay inside all day

The other wanted to run

One girl wanted to laugh and play

The other was content to sit in the sun

These girls were opposites at heart

They wanted opposite things

But they were bonded by their feet

And together they felt like kings

Like lovers in a 3-legged race

They taught themselves to walk

And one girl got to wander

While the other got to talk.

And throughout all of this time

They fought impossible chances

And then these two girls

Danced impossible dances

After years and years

The girls became the closest friends

They overcame their greatest fears

And you know how the story ends.
