Notes About The Poem

Following

Footprints

Following 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

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.
