His Feet Keep Growing

After you find three or four pairs of shoes that he never wore
You start thinking they walked away into the corner on their own
along with the clothes he outgrew before he could even try them on once
The time flies, and you, as his dresser had so many distractions
divorce, the job switch, car repairs, keeping the roof over your head
Shoes you bought on sale at Target got put aside for him to grow into
Found, about three months too late for him to wear
Shame, they would have looked good on him at the wedding
Sighing as you bag them up for Goodwill,
searching for anything else that you bought for a future
you keep forgetting about

Those last two lines just bring the whole thing together. Great stuff.
