Our Footprints in the Sand.
As a girl I always imagined I'd be standing by your side our entire life facing our rough patches as one,
We never asked each other our favorite drinks or what we craved to eat but we were the strongest bridge,
No lies or guys broke us apart and that is what I remember most, we didn't compete, had too much fun,
I hold every memory and fear I'll never forget, like the purpose of a fridge, I hold everything that made us that strong bridge.
We took walks along the road to a tree that was full of shoes, the shoe tree, you loved to throw a pair that stuck to the branches,
Over a hundred pairs tied together like a community that all gathers for the same purpose, to praise our true and Holy Lord,
We would write each other pages of our life that no one else ever knew, I never imagined that we'd be long lost,
We played sand horses in our big sand pit, burs stuck in our hair so knotted, but now I sit alone with nothing to do, so bored.
I wanted to burn every last thread that lead us to what we were, I could never erase history, only we can forgive and forget,
God brings people something they need, something at the time that will only stregnthen us but he can't keep us from feeling emotion,
You loved Footprints In the Sand and I only wish I could be walking along the tide with sand in our toes, you and me along the ocean,
Like the main part of the poem, at times, I always felt that you were the one that picked me up and carried me and I'll never forget.
We had sleep overs too as everyone usually does, played games, watched movies, and of course, always heard us laugh,
I always looked up to you, you were my big sister, who pulled me threw thick and thin, who wiped away my tears, made me strong,
I wish we weren't so far apart, can't leave my station, not now, not ever, but remember that you're forever and always my other half,
Because two pieces can be a million miles apart, yet never will they forget, the memories they've shared but why we're history, I was wrong.
I've forgiven myself for the wrong that I've caused, I'll forever hold your memories in my mind, even if we never face again,
God sends you his love, as well as me, it was destiny, that blew us different directions but never forget about our childhood,
Our lives mean more than anything to God, He'd never intentionally hurt us, so I will hold his best interest at heart, my friend,
You were there, even the day I left, you could have stayed away but God held us up because he will always know where we stand.
