Footprints On My Soul

I remember, some time back when
I met this lady, one great friend;

who shared some wise old words with me

and saw me through my insanity.


But soon I found, I was not alone,
sharing craziness to the bone;
and listened I did with an open ear
because I saw this friend, one so dear.


Tales we told, back and forth,
concerns and worries for what they're worth.
Smiles and laughs to see us through;
good times and bad, we've had more than a few.


You've tickled me with your naughty side
but the good in you, you cannot hide;
for deep within your heart remains
the goodness of a lifelong saint.


I'll miss the contests, the fun at night
with all the things you always write.
I met you the day, my trophy you 'stole'
and since then, my friend, you've left your footprints on my soul!

 

 

Author notes

For Joann (Riftkin)
I met Joann in a contest one night, who beat me out with one of her oh so pleasant (naughty) writes. We have been through a lot of conversations about life and more since then.

I'll miss you Joann, but you have my email and addy. Keep in touch always!

    My footprints on your soul
    these are the words if truth be told
    that made me want to stay
    but starting out in a new play

    my poems shall be removed from here
    and kept close to me my dear

    thank you for this
    I will stay so you'll not miss


    my simple but heart felt tears
    painted with words for the years


    Joann

    This is such a wonderful poem for JoAnn to enjoy. I really liked the last two lines. They are amazing. Thank you for posting.

    If this doesn't win the contest, I should be disappointed Simply beautiful and so true about her

    But remember, you have also left your footprint on my soul, as deeply as she has left hers as well..so don't you go running of on me too, ya hear?

    To a wonderful lady indeed!

    Your words capture a heartfelt message: how can friendship stop when one avenue is severed.
    May this blessing & dedication soften her heart to the love we have for our Riftkin, my Kitten!
    Very nice phrasing & texture to your words.
    My best to you in the contest Beautiful
