Footprints

Following footprints in the sand Across the beach, down to the sea I picture you, hardy and tanned Always joyful, always carefree Your righteous path is hard to trace Following footprints in the sand Such soft impressions waves erase I wish you could lead, take my hand When you were with me, life seemed grand I wasted not one bit of time Following footprints in the sand For with you, any hill I’d climb We’ll meet again; I’ll join you soon Our long-lost friends will be on hand To launch our cosmic honeymoon Following footprints in the sand January 19, 2020

This lovely, sad poem appeals to our emotions, Carolyn. Once there used to be two sets of footprints on the sand...now just one. Yet there is the consolation of a renewed heavenly relationship. Hugs // paul

A terrific poem Carolyn, until you meet again, the footprints in the sand are erased by the waves, such an artful write. The vividness and imagery is simply breathtaking. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
