Best Poems Written by Gloria Baker

Musings

Time flies by on tiptoed feet
caressing tender and weathered cheek 
Stuttering steps turn to confident 
strides 
then back again 
Only a whisper in the moment 
No time to own it 
A laugh, a prayer 
And, the friendship comes to the 
inevitable end 
To wonder if you had meaning or worth 
What it meant 
Your time on Earth 
Were your footprints in stone 
Or cast in sand 
Washed away by the ocean tide 
Did you cast a shadow on that great wall 
Or were you a mist 
barely noticed at all 
A faded memory 
Your last ride
