The Secrets of the School Shoes
There is a
saying:
“The closest
place is the farthest
when you run to
school and
the longest way
is, when you come back”
…and I am the
real prove of that.
Our home was 5
minutes away
from school by
walk. But I often was late.
It seemed that
I had the wrong shoes
and short legs,
when running for class.
Then on the end
of the day,
the entire
flock of kids had to go home,
bringing each
other to the garden gates
and…always the
time stopped to exist.
Our shoes did
not matter the snow, the rain.
The same magic
happened to my boys,
while the
school was just a street away.
They blamed the
same – the shoes,
that run in a
wrong time and
walk back in a
wrong direction
in the entire
neighborhood.
Every pair of
school shoes carries
the innocent
secrets
of a happy and
careless childhood.
