I have seen footprints
outside my door
unknown notations
deep impressions
hearts that heavy wore

I have seen footprints
through my windows
sharing existence
with insistance
places no one knows

I have felt each step
waiting for more
as they were taken
love forsaken
just outside my door

ctowen, This is very nice - a sense of sorrow and regret I feel. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
