Footprint In the Sand
My bare feet walk along the sand,
My footprints left behind
I smell the soft and salty air
And wander in my mind
A rock I see to sit upon
A seat within a stone
There is no one here but myself
But I am not alone.
The gentle waters kiss my feet
And once again recede
I feel a sweet contentment
That feels an aching need
I close my eyes and I picture you
Oh, it seems like so long ago
But I can hear your gentle voice
Within the tidal flow.
If ever I am lonely
And I need to feel you near
I will return here again to find you
I know that you're waiting here
All I have to do is close my eyes
And feel you caress and kiss my hand
I open my eyes and look down
And that is when I see two pairs of footprints in the sand!
