Cinderella's Shoes


I told my creator, the cobbler,
To make me more beautiful
Than all the shoes he ever made.
I wanted to be as shiny as star
That I never wanted to be dull,
And my gleam should never fade.
I wanted to be precious and rare
That everyone must ogle,
As I must resemble a Jade.
I wanted to be lucid and clear,
As though made of crystal,
That everyone covets my pulchritude.
The one who wears me must be fair,
Humble, modest and respectful,
And the most elegant maid.

- And thus, I was worn by Cinderella.
