I've left my footprints in many places And I wonder if they're still there Wish I could travell same path over 'Cause I've got good mem'ries to share I was travelling all by myself Wich I prefer the most of all Hopping in and out some houses In that late, but still hot Fall From Cape Cod to Boston and Philly I've met Poets with loving care They've showed me their special places And I got precious mem'ries to share I left my footprints near Dicken's Raven All stuffed up but special to've seen I saw the woods of Pensylvania Where thirtyfive years ago I'd been I travelled by train the way down South Fished in Florida's seas somewhere Too hot for my taste but still enjoyed Again I got gorgeous mem'ries to share I've met the loveliest people Poets Friends for life I dare call them now Wish I could return their hospitality But I surely wouldn't know how I've left my footprints in hearts of Poets I know they'll keep them in their care Because those days of the Poets meeting Left us all with warm mem'ries to share  Wish I could do it all over again Thanks my friends for giving me those precious moments in memory Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

You left your footprints here for sure But they left me a bruise. Be careful with those footprints When you wear Dutch wooden shoes!!  You're always welcome here, my friend. I'll take you by the hand And watch you leave those footprints Here in Florida's golden sand.  |

It makes me realize, not only do we leave our footprints in physical places, but we live them in the hearts of the people we encounter. Either they are lightly set, or heavily imprinted. thank you for sharing |

And do you still have some little red slippers from a poet you've yet to meet?   |

they sound like peaceful, soothing, vivid memories to me... great feeling in this... it brings out the reminiscing in me... i like your use of contractions. they're groovy...atypical, but in synch. love em! We are all luminous beings, not merely crude creatures of matter. - Yoda |

Muted, thanks Balladeer, If you are taking me by the hand And watch my foot print deep in sand Be sure to bring some cheese and wine Cabernet Sauvignon will be just fine Melodius_Silence, yes we sure leave our footprints in the hearts of those we love Sunshine, look....  I've kept all the gifts, didn't even eat the sweets. It's my lucky shoe you know. Passing Shadows, thanks Ethan Halo, atypical? yes that's me for sure  Liz, my dearest friend, I've spend the most beautiful time in your house and in your woods. It was an honor meeting you and I often smile when I think back to the time you left your key in the car and closed it. Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

OhSweetDarlingLady~ Those footprints are ALL OVER the meadow, the yard, the ocean, and definitely my heart~  YOU are to come back ... you hear me ? We've got nature scenes to see .... AND everytime the train goes by (which is almost hourly) ... I never fail to think of you~ AND THAT'S THE TRUTH !!!!! Hey .... eat those candy-covered almonds ..... they are the BEST~ Make me reminisce bunches just looking at that stash !! Love you, dearest one~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

This is a darling poem. I have your footprints in my heart, I know. And I have your picture on my den wall, too. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Titia, what a collection! I doubt I would eat anything so sweet myself...especially when it's wrapped up so well. Those are very magic shoes, you know...they can take you anywhere!!!  All you have to do is believe! |
