Footsteps

Footsteps always echo with footsteps from the past
They keep us moving forward, make memories that last
All that came before us, that tread the same old road
Helped us stay the distance while lightening our load
And if you listen closely, their voices you will hear
With quiet words of wisdom, don't live your life in fear
Although there'll be days of pain, and nights that seem to long
The light of faith you have within will always keep you strong



Found out I have Lung cancer Jan. of this year...still fighting :)

Good luck with your battle, Linda - I know it is a tough one. Your poem is beautiful and I know you meant quiet, not quite to represent that line. I enjoyed the read and will think of you ... CayCay
