Sunlight and Shadows


Footsteps

Walking in the footsteps I took so long ago

Looking back through years past on what I didn’t know

Pondering life’s meaning, how moments come and go

Feeling all those things now I couldn’t feel back then

Wondering the reason that I am here again

Thinking of the choices, of what else could have been

Letting go of questions of why and how and when

Stepping through the splinters of hurt that still are here

Lighting up past darkness so I no longer fear

Storing up the good things, the moments I hold dear

Turning toward the sunshine so shadows disappear

Walking in new footsteps as future pathways grow
