Footprints in the sand...
Why do I see four instead of two?
Alone, left with the irony of life
Faith wounded and scarred
What am I to do?

Troubles and Tribulations?
Life's meaning is lost in dreams
Begging for answers and miracles
Wanting her back
A fool, I am, it seems

Shown the way back
This is not an option to take
Please listen to my prayers
I'll love her forever
Help me before it's too late

Footprints in the sand...
Still, I see four
Exhausted, lost, and confused
Keep searching no matter what
Wanna be with her forever more

Footprints in the sand...?

Really good writing acire.  I don't know what to say, it's awesome.

Ok i thought this poem rocked, but im wondering what you put a one verse at the end saying "footprins in the sand.....?"..... what's that all about. It freaking intrigues me to the fullest. I know it has meaning but i cant quite pin point it. TELL ME!!!!!!!!! hehe

thanks all for replying. you are so kind

Dopey --- I'm glad someone realized that part.  Yes it has it's own meaning to it.  That's why it also has that question mark in the end of it.  I am assuming that you know the story "footprints in the sand", as a lot of people do.  My ending has a simple meaning to it to tell you the truth.  All it's saying at that time i wrote it, is that i'm doubting really the point of that story.  I felt at that time that i was in big trouble, one of the worst in my life if i may add, and i didn't feel like he was actually helping me thru it at all.  It doesn't mean that i stopped beliving in Him.   That is also the reason why I say four.  It's because I believe that He is there, but He was beside me all the time and i didn't need Him that way, i neede Him to carry me thru.  I was basically crying to Him to pick me up.  I was in that bad of a shape at that time.  

Hope this helps explain it  
thanks for asking

Don't wander throught this glassy surface, expecting to find more than me, because what I am without a purpose, but a lone mirage to see.
