Little Footprints

This is a little poem that I have in one of Emma's memory books


Little Footprints

These are the footprints, so perfect and so small,
These tiny footprints never touched the ground at all.

Not one tiny footprint, for now I have my wings,
These tiny footprints were meant for other things.

You will hear my tiny footprints in the patter of the rain, 
Gentle drops like angel tears, of joy and not from pain.

You will see my tiny footprints in each butterflies lazy dance,
I'll let you know I'm with you, if you give me just the chance.

You will hear my tiny footprints in the rustle of the leaves,
I will whisper names into the wind and call each one that grieves.

Most of these tiny footprints are found in mommy's heart,
Cause even though I'm gone now, we're never truly apart.

  1. I like it. The truth is she was never going to be the one to lay footprints, but she left untangibles behind her and the lives she touched are forever changed and she was so good at it that all she had to do was not even leave the womb.

  2. This is a beautiful poem. My dad passed away when I was very young, and this is one that I like to read when I think of him:


    God hath not promised
    Skies always blue,
    Flower-strewn pathways,
    All our lives through;
    God hath not promised
    Sun without rain,
    Joy without sorrow,
    Peace without pain.

    But God hath promised
    Strength for the day,
    Rest for the labor,
    Light for the way.
    Grace for the trials,
    Help from above,
    Unfailing sympathy,
    Undying love.


    I hope you liked this poem. And I'm always here for you Tamara.
