The words are from a Cuban poem about a little girl who goes to the beach with pink shoes and finds a poor playmate. Without hesitation, the privileged little girl hands over her beloved pink shoes to a poor, sick child she meets at the beach. For one moment the youngsters' different worlds meet and mesh, each one's fantasy becoming the other's reality. The poem depicts a world of contrasting images: wealth and poverty, sickness and health, joy and misery. The poem depicts the warm and sunny ambience of the seashore and highlights the innocence of the children.
Karen knows the poem by heart and has recited it through out the years at various family gatherings.
