Footprints Poem by Gelila A Gobena

Footprints



Wherever we go
we leave our footprints
at home, work, friends’ house,
libraries, play grounds or groceries.

What do I want to leave on my footprints?

Footprints of love,
joy and respect,
like an accidental angel
who can bring peace
like a loving mother’s
protective wings
kindness and compassion
that are so deep
that can make one smile
for a little bit.

Lord help me every day
to stamp such footprints
I don’t want to start
on my last footprints
Help me to remind myself
not to live as I please.
Life is so peaceful
when we leave such footprints.

What do you want to leave on your footprints?
