We are like footprints in the snow.

Footprints in the Snow I trek through the snow And look after me. My footprints follow close behind, Yet only for a little while. The sun's warmth soon will find them, And they shall fade from earth forever. I, too, am but a footprint in the snow. One day God's warmth will find me, And I shall fade from earth forever. ©2009 By David Lee Thompson

I saw this poem in the list of Popular Poetry and thought I would check it out. Low and behold, it is from my old friend David Lee and reminds me so much of how in my youth I would see footprints in the snow that faded in time, often wondering who had made those footprints.

I hope you are fine. I haven't heard from you for a very long time.

David,

Terrific metaphor. We shall all fade forever one day just like that footprint.
