POOR LITTLE SHOES

 POOR LITTLE SHOES

(HYMN)

Poor little shoes. They look so tired. 
They've carried him many a mile 
Since he kicked back the covers and 
rolled out of bed
 And hurried them off with a smile. 

Poor little shoes. They are out at 

toes. 

They've been stubbed 'gainst many a

 stone. 

And he likes to trail them along in the

 dust 

When he starts off to school alone.

Poor little shoes. There's a hole in the 

sole. 

There were lots of games he must 

play. 

There's shinney and baseball and foot- 

ball and "sow" 

He had never a moment to stay.

Poor little shoes. They are down at the 

heels. 

That comes from the grand parade 

When he played at soldier and carried 

his gun 

And was going to France he said.

Dear little shoes. They've cost me a 

lot 

They've been mended again and again. 

But I love them because they have car-

ried my boy, 

My little Prince among men.
