When I was young, we didn’t have much.
Back then, if you wanted fun, you had to make it yourself.
A stick could be a sword, and an empty box could be a house.Now I’m old, and my hands aren’t as steady as they used to be…but I still like making things.These wolf slippers—
I sew them one by one, slow and careful.
They remind me that warmth doesn’t come from big things…
just from the little things made with heart.
If someone out there wears them and feels a bit of joy—
then I guess this old man’s day was worth it.
