Looks like Vero Beach, FL until the end!

FOOTPRINTS

I walk the lonely beach
Searching in the warm wet sand
For the pair of footprints
Made when we walked hand in hand.

I look toward the water
As the sun begins to set
And hope with all my heart
That I'll see your silhouette.

I sit on the driftwood
Worn smooth by the raging sea
It looks like the same one
Where you used to sit with me.

At times the crashing waves
Are like a magic potion
I think I hear your voice
But find it's just the ocean.

The wind caresses me --
I pretend that it's your lips
But then I realize
That it's one more of my trips.

To that land of dreams
That will never, ever be
I watch the water rise
And I hope it will take me.

That it will drown the pain
And take away the sorrow --
Take me back to yesterday
And stop the coming 'morrow.
