Someday Avenue

Found, one toddler’s shoe
Lost one hot summer day
‘Twixt morning and Someday Avenue

Little ones should be free, tis true
To run and romp happily along the way
Found, one toddler’s shoe

Banged up knees and bird’s-nest hairdo
Mommy lunch dates at Mudpie Cafe
‘Twixt morning and Someday Avenue

Pushing boundaries and a broken curfew
Waiting cross-armed angry in the doorway
Found, one toddler’s shoe

White ribbon decorates each church pew
Something borrowed one fine day
‘Twixt morning and Someday Avenue

Blink once, and before you knew
Childhood seemed so faraway
Found, one toddler’s shoe
‘Twixt morning and Someday Avenue
