footprints in the sand.....

Once we were young

• unburdened by this life

  listening to singing birds

  with the earnestness from the heart

  once, we left footprints in the sand

  
  

  then we grew up

  moved with time

  created memories

  we had our loves

  bruised our frail hearts

  and again,

  left footprints in the sand

  
  

  we moved into adulthood

  faced life anew

  realised there was more to it

  than just memories from long back

  we learnt to smile

  when all we felt was pain

  we learnt to laugh

  when all we felt was bitterness

  we became many things

  and again,

  we left footprints in the sand
