A kind word, A loving touch. A whispered joke, Hugs and such. A frightened child, A friend in need. A gentle kiss, A quiet plea. A wistful sigh, A deep regret, A gentle hand, We don’t forget. A child’s game, A story told, Etched in stone, From days of old. They leave footprints On our hearts. They touch our lives, They leave their mark. A firm push, A warm embrace, Room to breathe, When you need space. A heartfelt note, A friendship poem, A call to say, “You’re not alone.” A dance in rain, A silly face, A wedding dress, From grandma’s lace. A knowing glance, Across the room, One that says, “I love you, too.” They leave footprints, On our hearts, They touch our lives, They leave their mark. A favorite toy, A little hug. Friendships made, With acts of love. A silent tear, In the night, To mourn a friend, Who lost the fight. A snowy day, A friendly smile, “Please, come in, Warm up awhile.” A welcome wave, “I’m glad you’re here.” A sad good-bye, “You’ll still be near.” They leave footprints, On our hearts, They touch our lives, They leave their mark. |

They leave footprints, On our hearts, They touch our lives, They leave their mark. My only comment would be... You forgot to add beautiful poetry. This left a footprint on my heart for sure. Thanks for sharing it. Tammy |

I love this poem, and I hope it makes it into Reflections.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

I'm all for leaving footprints and I promise not to obsess about a dirty kitchen floor. But seriously, I'm all for leaving footprints. Lovely poem, bestgirl. When you think you have heard it all, |

This is one of the best submissions that I have read. I hope that this poem makes it into the book. “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
