There’s a pair of footprints waiting
To be sketched into the sand
The impressions of the future
Of a woman and a man

Underneath the mist of morning
Where the sands are smooth and wet
There will be of set of footprints
On a day they won’t forget

Only God knows of the meeting
Of two souls yet unaware
That their steps will mark the beach
Where love is waiting for them there

God will etch their mark in time
On ocean’s fringe of ancient sand
He has well prepared their destiny
With an artist knife in hand

He will carve the footsteps as the two
Tread lightly on their way
Looking out upon the waters
Just as God had planned the day

When the mist rose in the morning
And the sun shone from above
A man and woman in the distance
And God said, "Let there be love."

Elizabeth, this is just soooo beautiful!
When I got to the last stanza I had goosebumps so bad!  You write with an amazing knowledge of just what the reader would like to hear at any given moment.  Wonderful.
~Hugs, Nancy~

~Time has cast a spell on you,
  So you won't ever forget me~
