Footsteps

Whose heart has my footprint?
 Whose life have I changed?
 Who cant live wihout me?
 Who is more than a friend?
 
The path that I walked
 Had so much pain
 Found you must talk
 To see straight again.
 
The path has flowers
 Bedecking the way
 The fine april showers
 That are saying, Hey
 
Look at the sunshine
 Look at life now
 The pain's far behind you
 No more wrinkled brow
 
Cos you now belong
 Your path is all sun
 Life is so rosy
 Happiness has begun
 
 So where is that footprint
 And whose have I got?
 Whose whispering I love you,
 Forget me not
 
 Just like that flower
 Happiness spreads
 Giving me the power
 To lift my head
 
 To the sky and say
 "Thank you" again
 Cos the path that i follow 
 No longer has pain.
 
 So my footprint is placed
 Firmly on the heart
 That can't be replaced
 Even though were apart

I see the path takes me back to the beginning again. I don't have any footprints, but the starlight has definitely inspired me. Great poem Seren, don't know exactly how I missed it, but glad I went back.

Footsteps of life do indeed create imprints. It's how we read them, and address them. Just like feelings....
