You came to me  - a tiny scrap of pure humanity
how could  I know way back then that you would set me free
you gave in loving kindness, light and warmth - a new start
now that you are here to stay, see footprints in my heart

you came as soft as springtime  you lifted me in hope
you gave of everything you had to help me stand and cope
could I have known so long ago how much your love imparts
I would have been more prepared for footprints in my heart

we travelled on together your light mixed with my dark
how could I have ever known you'd make my life less stark
as love and light mingled in - the stars stood in awe at art
you were the one who freed my soul - left footprints in my heart

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold
for you have shown the better way to learn and make new start
and echoes of your strength remains as footprints in my heart

I can be moving forward - can pass the joy along
because of all you are and do - when singing your hearts song
so thank you love for all the gifts your loving heart imparts
Now I can risk another love and  leave footprints in their heart.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
