Why I Loved C D's Poem - Following Footprints

Following Footprints (By Carolyn Devonshire) Following footprints in the sand Across the beach, down to the sea I picture you, hardy and tanned Always joyful, always carefree Your righteous path is hard to trace Following footprints in the sand Such soft impressions waves erase I wish you could lead, take my hand When you were with me, life seemed grand I wasted not one bit of time Following footprints in the sand For with you, any hill I’d climb We’ll meet again; I’ll join you soon Our long-lost friends will be on hand To launch our cosmic honeymoon Following footprints in the sand (This beautifully flowing rhythmic Quatern I chose because I liked its depiction of positive approach to life even if the grand times of togetherness are gone as the loved one walks away leaving soft footprints on the sand of time. The desire to meet again following the footprints on cosmic honeymoon is glorifying hope that never dies.)
