Footprints in the Snow

Glancing up this hill on a cold Winter's day, you may see a figure singled out against the gray

If you peer a little closer you may even see a trail of footprints in the snow, made by me

I walk this hill but once a year, same time, same place, until I reach my destination; your final resting place

Seeing your life etched in stone, makes me reflect upon my own

My memories of you are still sharp and new; as long as I live I will never forget you

I shall reminisce upon the times we walked this hill together; the snow around us falling light as a feather

Back when there were two sets of footprints in the snow, and we were together no matter where we had to go

But as the years wore on; the set of footprints dwindled from two to one

Now I walk this hill alone; just one set of footprints in the snow
