Footprints

Footprints


As I walk on the beach at dusk,
In tune with the rolling waves,
I feel the breeze run its fingers through my hair,
And I'm away from the bustle of the morbid world.

Walking almost next to the setting sun,
With tears flowing down my cheeks,
I turn around to behold,
A single trail of footprints on the sand.

I remember the time we promised,
To walk on this beach together,
To turn around and look at our footprints on the sand,
But now there is only a single pair...just mine.

Today I walk all alone,without you beside me,
There is noone to walk my walk with me,
When my steps falter, there is none to support,
I fall down and have to help myself up.

My footprints remind me, how alone I am,
Without you I'm so lost,
How I wish my steps would lead me to you,
But alas, all they do is wander into oblivion.

When You look down at me from the Kingdom of God,
Love don't weep for me , just guide me,
Guide me to take the right steps,
And to take each stride with confidence,

I turn around and look at my footprints,
Now I realise you kept your part of the promise,
You were always there beside me,
You are present within me and as my shadow...
