I see footprints in the sand

As I walk across the land

They show the ordained journey

Meant just for me only

The purpose set in stone

Why God never leaves me alone

All the beautiful dreams

That make me burst at the seams

The unconditional love

That comes from heaven above

The perfect peace

My heart won’t release

How I get stronger

As my journey gets longer

How God wiped away my tears

Then removed all my fears

The beautiful place

Filled with mercy and grace

The life lessons I’ve learned

All the stripes I’ve earned

How I looked ahead

Without an ounce of dread

The moment God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

I see footprints in the sand

As I walk across the land

I see the blessings granted

All the seeds I planted

How much I’ve grown

All the things I’ve known

The day I struck some poses

As I stopped to smell the roses

Every moment of pleasure

I cherished beyond measure

The guiding light

I follow day and night

How I face my naysayers

While saying my prayers

The things I hold

The story that was told

The encouraging word

I’ve always heard

And why I stay close to God

With a wink and nod
