A trail of footprints on the seaside

Is a reflection of the path you embraced

Every impression conveys an anecdote

When only solitude emerges as a soulful companion…

A compassionate spirit masters countless battles

But a lifetime glides within a blink of an eye

While you wait or lament for a sublime moment

But what is left when the dust settles???

The intent gaze of mockery affixed your grief

A warmth in laughter brought solace to your agonized mind

Each instant unfurled a diverse spectrum of life 

But exceeded, beyond the grasp, as it slipped in no time…

So when death knocks on the doorway

Be sure of what you bore

Walk up another side, leaving the same footprints behind

A trail for others to follow, the path you endured eternally…
