Footprints In The Sand

I walked the beach alone once,
  And felt someone near.
I turned to see who was there,
  But instead saw an oddity so very clear.

I do not think my eyes decieved me,
  But saw why I felt someone near,
There in the sand behind me,
  Lay two sets of footprints so dear.

My heart and I know many things,
  But for a moment I could not see.
Then I realized with amazement,
  My Love was wandering with me.

I then felt a warmness in hand,
  For Carol had lovenly taken my hand.
We wandered for hours on the beach,
  Her laughter bringing joy so grand.

This is a memory that will never fade,
  Two sets of footprints in the sand.
I know that I am not alone,
  Because she left footprints in heart as grand.

Although God took her to his domain,
  And to a quiet peaceful place.
She will always, no matter where,
  Leave footprints to grace.
