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
