Before the footprints we leave behind on the shoreline of time
Fill up with sea water
And are washed away entirely
Strive to write within their confines
The words to sprout roots
For their impression to remain
Even fleetingly intact
To inspire the imaginations of future generations,
As the words of the very best that came before us, have.

Echo of a Song
A quiet moment,
Rarity, held in a palm;
A pulse,
Kept warm and safe;
Allowed to echo,
And, grow;
Into an enchantment,
Found within its song,
Now, cradling your soul;
Providing you solace,
Like a mother to a newborn,
Save, the roles have reversed in time,
The child has grown,
And, it is he who now holds your frail body,
Whispering words of comfort,
As you die.
‘Baby’
Don’t call me ‘baby’,
I’m your inspiration,
Your guardian, protector, carer and teacher, when you need me to be;
Steering you onto the right course if you veer off,
Your greatest creation;
The best investment you’ll ever have,
I’m your footprint in eternity,
And, your precious legacy;
Until my hour however, I need you to be mine;
And, i’ll come to call you ‘my everything’ in time!
