We Are All Creative and Unique

We start out with our tiny feet inked,
                              
to show our paper footprints.
                                          
Through our lives and years,
                                          
we see our footprints change and grow.
                          
The ocean waters wash away,
                                
the footprints that were just pressed into the sand.
          
Forest paths have footprints,
                                          
some are old and waiting to be discovered.
                      
Footprints like handprints,
                                              
are tied to one's soul.
                                                    
We are all creative and unique,
                                       
no two of us are alike.

Reminds me of dinosaur footprints left in mud which eventually hardened into sedimentary rock. Nice write.
