FOOTSTEPS

 

We walk in the footsteps of our ancestors who walked before us…

Whether we realize it or not their footsteps have a profound effect…


If we’re blessed

They walked with a sense of humility, kindness, compassion, wonder and respect.


If we’re blessed

They walked together with family, friends and strangers…

hand-in-hand looking out for one another.


If we’re blessed

They treated the mountains, the rivers, the trees…the flowers

like their sisters and their brothers.


If they did

If makes our walk an easy one…a blessed on indeed

as we walk within their footprints…following their lead.


If they didn’t

It’s up to us…knowing as future ancestors 

our footprints will have a profound effect…

to walk with a sense of humility, kindness, compassion, wonder and respect.

 

To walk together with family, friends and strangers

hand-in-hand looking out for one another.

treating the mountains, the rivers, the trees…the flowers

like our sisters and our brothers.


If…on whatever path we choose…

we walk with humility, wonder and respect…

If our footsteps are compassionate and kind

It will make the walk a little easier…a little more blessed

for those who choose to walk in the footsteps we leave behind.
