Footprints In Time

This is a poem I wrote for a class back when I was in High School.

Footprints In Time
I always remember and am reminded of
people just ordinary people, all
who did something extraordinary,
They all left behind one
thing----- FOOTPRINTS IN TIME

And on that extraordinary long stretch of sidewalk
as we walk along-- we try to fit our footprints into those of others.

In reality though we'll never fill
their shoes. We should just keep
walking, hold our heads up high
and wait, Wait until our feet sink
in-------
and we are able to make our own
FOOTPRINTS IN TIME
