LITTLE FOOTSTEPS...

Sometimes I look back,
To a time when my footsteps were smaller,
And when I ran with real freedom in my soul,
I never ever thought much of it,
It was so free.....

All I thought about was exam papers the next day...
Or the pleats on my uniform so grey..
I prayed that it would rain...
So that I could make paper boats and watch them run away...
Catching raindrops as they sped...
Where they went I never knew..
And neither did I care..
I just made boats in spare..
On some I wrote letters..
On some I drew..
I did not know much ..
But I knew I just loved the rain ..

Sometimes I see that little girl in me ..
The one who ran with paper boats ..
Free..
Happy..
Innocent ..
And full of dreams ..

I meet her now and then ..
And she still has that big broad smile ..
Ever trusting...
Ever open ..

Sometimes we just smile ..
Sometimes we talk..
Sometimes I ask her, if this is what she thought life is all about..

She looked at me today ...
And ran around like she does..
And then just stopped..
And gave me the tightest hug ..

You are fine she said
You have love and forgiveness in your heart , and that's the best ..

You love like no other can ..
Get mad because that's you..
Are sometimes over cautious
And sometimes so carefree.
So trusting sometimes
And sometimes as quiet as the deep sea ..

But stay who you are..
Because that's the only way ..
You will protect me ..

Tears well up ..
When I sometimes look into my eyes..
That I quickly dry ..
And put on my smile ..

I'm going to stay happy ..
I'm going to stay blessed..
Because as I sleep at night ..

I know I have a little angel with shiny wings ..
Who sits right near my bed ..

Juggie and me....

THIS IS FOR MY SISTER AND ME...
JUGGIE I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ....
