Footprints in the sand...

You walked with me... footprints in the sand

and helped me understand
where I’m going. You walked with me

when I was all alone.

With so much unknown along the way.

Then I heard you say...

I promise you. I’m always there.

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair.

I’ll carry you. When you need a friend.

You’ll find my footprints in the sand.

I see my life flash across the sky.

So many times have I been so afraid.

And just when I thought I’d lost my way.

You gave me strength to carry on.

That’s when I heard you say

I promise you... I’m always there.

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair.

I’ll carry you. When you need a friend.

You’ll find my footprints in the sand.

I hear this song and can't help but think of some of the most amazing people that I have in my life. Near or far, past or present...These are the people that have stood by me, who have laughed with me, cried with me, smiled with me, loved me, dreamed with me and for me, who prayed for me, who worried about me, saw the best there was in me even when I didn't show it. These are the people that have never gave up on me. These are the people that my life is wrapped around. These are the people that bring meaning to my life and give my life meaning. These are the people that give me reasons everyday to be the best being that I can be. These are the people that make me want more from this life and for myself. These are the people that even if one was missing my life would be incomplete and so so much less. These are the people that I have with me today, those that I will meet in future days and those I look forward to seeing once again. These are the people that make me ME. I am a freak about the coast, ocean and sand. And if I can't be living and walking on the ocean coast then I can always dream about it...and there's no one better to have walking with me on that beach then those who make loving this life so easy and such a blessing and honor. So thank you to all of you who walk with me and forever leave your footprints in my life.
