Footsteps of the beach

This poem was published this year in UK Inspirations by Forward Press and was written by me.


Footsteps on the beach


Footsteps on the beach

Each step different; unique

As we move forward to a place unknown,

We are creating history all of our own.


People try to predict the future,

Try to second guess the world of tomorrow

It is hard work and strange; worrying

Because the future is unknown.


I have watched many people try to plan their future

Living to the do list on the kitchen table

Struggling to fit it all in

Turning down opportunities, because their plan says no.


We all need order and discipline,

But we also need to be undefined in our minds

Ready to recognise the mysteries in life

And those leaps of faith that fill your blood with adrenaline.


I looked at our footsteps in the sands,

Two unique prints marking out their own paths

Going in the same direction today

But neither one knows whether,

They’re heading to the same destination.


Both strong individual steps; clear on their paths

Now they are learning to walk together.

Developing a new pattern whilst remaining unique

Hoping to improve the happiness of the other.


Our footsteps aren’t worried about their future

As they are too busy enjoying the dance of today

Because our footsteps are creating history of our own

Giving us the strength to create a little more
