Footprints in the sand

Footprints in the sand.Ever thought about what they really signify?

Temporary, ephemeral, fleeting and easily wiped out....

But while they are still there, they serve as a path for those who might choose to follow close behind.

Such as a small child, following in her father's path, or then..... her mother's.

Until the next wave comes up from behind and wipes them away.

So if we really, really want to leave a mark on this earth.

One of any kind at all. ...

Let us make sure that it really is worth a little bit more....
Than mere footprints in the sand.
