Footprints

One set of footprints in the sand Perhaps someday we all will understand With both surf & overhead sun A hand to hold having shelter to protect from all harm The shelter amidst a storm we run Having one set of footprints in the sand Each of us will choose our own destiny understand With hand to hold its vested energy exposed One set of footprints in the sand Shattered glass extending into solemn pier While then overhead seagulls flying throughout the air then disappear I had shed a single tear to numb its inner pain With moments like these filled up in solace then to refrain Ever present laughter amidst the inner turmoil & pain One set of footprints in the sand Child of nature the son of man One set of footprints in the sand Hoping someday all will understand In dire search for want beneathe the tide in discontent Many as of late our already late on their rent The economy in trouble & Obama not even making a dent? In cloven asps filled with tears In life it often pays to switch gears To suck it up & swallow your inner fears We all long for something yet what? Through the years amidst all pain & tears One makes you want to even throw up, In sadness fought against the window pane As shallow tempers having elapsed with fear insane!
