Footsteps

FOOTSTEPS

by Kathy M. Hampton AKA Kathy Bee

AS I JOURNEY DAY BY DAY

ON THE PATH THAT IS BEFORE ME

THERE ARE SIGNS ALONG THE WAY

SOME GOOD SOME BAD THAT WARN ME

OF TRAVELERS WHO OFTEN STRAY

AND FALL INTO DESPAIR

WHEN THEY ARE LOST AND LONELY

AND THEY FEEL NOBODY CARES

OTHER SIGNS ALONG THE JOURNEY

SAY TO STOP AND LOOK AND PRAY

FOR TRAVELERS HAVE LEFT THEIR FOOTSTEPS

ALL ALONG THE WAY

THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR DEAR LORD

INVENTORS, TEACHERS, DOCTORS TOO

HAVE ALL BEEN LEFT FOR OTHERS

TO DISCOVER AND PURSUE

FOLLOW IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS

THE SIGN READS LOUD AND CLEAR

FOR THOSE WHO CARED FOR OTHERS

HAVE LEFT THEIR FOOTSTEPS FOR YOU HERE

SO I ASK YOU MY FELLOW TRAVELER

BEFORE YOUR JOURNEY HERE IS THROUGH

WHAT KIND OF FOOTSTEPS WILL YOU LEAVE

FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW YOU
