Notes About The Poem

Footprints

mama taught me 
not to drag my feet 
as i walk through the sands of time
a thirsty soul might come looking
and find their way 
to the watering hole

Wow! A strong allegorical message from the footprints of the lessons our ancestors have left us. Peace and Love.

This makes me think of when my mom told me not to let life pass me by.

Mom’s are the greatest, aren’t they? Some of course. Not all
