Footprints

We travel along, adding our own footprints to a path
traveled by so many before us.
This weather beaten path, trampled on again and again,
it still stands the test of time, ready to hold more footprints after our’s.
We’re ready to move on, to take the next step.
We are eagles
ready to unfurl our wings and take flight.
For all to a new place,
for some it’s far,
and other’s it’s closer.
But it’s time for us all to move on.
Some friendships will last, some will wither away with time and distance.
But our footprints remain.
They pitter patter along in our memories,
leaving laugh lines on our face from all the good times.
Our footprints remain even as we move on to good times and bad.
They remain even when we are gone.
