Footprints
Footprints
We once left footprints in the sand
while strolling slowly hand in hand
with sun rays beaming gently down
enjoying warmth along the strand.
Together we were always found,
our footprints side by side abound
in parallel concentric lines
that traced our love upon the ground.
But time and tide erased these signs;
the footprints which our love defined
have faded like an ancient art,
and bright sunlight no longer shines.
The embers burning at the start
have gone with flames they did impart;
you cast it sadly on the sand
and left your footprints on my heart.
