Hello There Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Leaving Imprints

I wish the best for you and all...
Let peace reside in each who walks this earth 
with tenderness, forgiveness, a new start - 
awakened, love to spare and real self-worth. 

Though my own breath has blown each grain of sand; 
each footprint left by me I cannot see. 
Alas, He picks me up in His strong arms - 
with tender hug and kiss, I have new feet! 

They are a toddler's, pudgy and unsteady, 
yet I can see the path they leave behind; 
reassured that He is always ready 
to breathe new Life - We may begin again! 

I do not think that each has had a thought 
of leaving imprints for this world to see, 
but I believe there comes a point in time 
when He says, "Walk, it's time for you to be!"
