"The Footprint Sets "

Looking back across the tides of time
Wonder when those footprints just became mine
You had pushed me on to better days
You had helped me see through the maze
You knew where to hit when times grew tough
You knew how to appreciate when it was good enough
But then the tide grew in and the waves hit hard
And I looked back to see the footprints had fallen apart...


The waters will rise and they will fall
The sun will come out and dry everything around
There will be many more seasons of change
But never say that just one set of footprints will remain

You believe in me and so I do too
You push me to higher ground and so I flew
You chided me when I sat back and took things for granted
You dreamed maybe more than I could have ever imagined
I limited myself to just my little square
But you showed me the stories waiting beyond..out there!

The waters will rise and they will fall
The sun will come out and dry everything around
There will be many more seasons of change
But never say that just one set of footprints will remain.


In view of all the questions that I have got regarding this poem and its resemblance to the other "footprints " poem..just wanted to clarify that this has a very different theme.
This is for a friend or mentor or someone who you want to be there for you as you walk along the journey of life. Sometimes things happen and we loose friends and people on our way and its not always easy...we long and pray for them to be there..
And thats why here the footprints dont want to be just one set....They want the company that makes them a better person,a better friend and accomplish things which they alone would never imagine to do!

This is dedicated to a special friend, mentor and critic....my way of saying Thankyou...my way of saying, "once a friend..ALWAYS a friend"

'My Prayer'

I understand not
What is your plan?
I cannot comprehend
Why the twists and the bends?
I lie in bed all curled up
Not a choice , not to warm up
but I know master you're shaping me
And so peacefully I will endure.

A life without scars
Will not make me realize who You are
The peace I would question, "How?"
I experience fully now
And though sometimes I maybe unsure
With you by myside I'll peacefully endure



RM@ Thankyou for showing me where our Strength and Hope lies...even when we can't ask or express...He listens even to the silence...

'Two Hearts'

"God made Sam and looked at his heart
He said, "What a beauty from end to start!
A heart that loves me, devoted and true
A heart that'll be among the chosen few.

Then God made Margaret, A rare pearl.
A gem, a beauty and so surreal
A woman He knew who would gladly serve
A woman who would be beyond words.

With two perfect hearts made
A great idea in His mind now played
Sam and Margaret put together
Will be love standing strong in any kind of weather
So He united them and placed them as one
He smiled as they wed
coz a journey of Love had begun....!!
