I see the footprints of time

As I remember my prime

They show all my days

How I changed my ways

The tears I cried

How hard I tried

The blessings that came

How I let go of shame

The silent prayer

That showed God was there

What I knew was real

What my heart can’t conceal

The woman in me

What’s truly meant to be

What’s set in stone

Why God won’t leave me alone

The reason I smile

And why the smile last awhile

I see the footprints of time

They show who I adore

What fills me to the core

My second chance

My victory dance

The journey I embrace

My safe and secure space

The lessons I learned

The stripes I earned

The strength I gain

Through heartache and pain

The voice I raise

During songs of praise

The heart that beats

Where God and I meet

The things I favor

The moments I savor

How I sit still

As I accept God’s will

The next chapter

My joy and laughter

And what makes sense

As I look at my footprints
