Footsteps
Everyone must walk in
The footsteps of someone
Who has gone on before them.
Sometimes they can
Continue to greatness,
Sometimes those footprints
may lead you astray
The footsteps I leave are sometimes
Muddy at the crossroads.
When You get where the
Mud gets thickest...
Pivot change direction-
Choose another road.
Even when the road has
Been paved- read the signs-
Find out what it took
to clear the paths.
Respect the sacrifices made
Of those who have left
Footsteps for you to study.
Though they have Transcended
Their Spirits cast big shadows on
The road of the flesh dwellers.
Communicate and forgive them-
Communicate and thank them-
Communicate and pray that
You both can be free
From inclemency, that
Bind souls to torturous memories.
Untie them so you too be free
So, that our future Spiritual
Footsteps, lead our loved ones
toward "Peaceful Promises"
Of thus... Our Creator!
