Footprints

The wind was calm

but the breeze was cool.

I felt cold

but I was warm inside

For, today had been just my day.

A gush of wind went by

and it made my untidy hair

fall loosely on my face.

It was then I heard 

some footsteps behind me.

Clutching my shawl,

I wrapped it around

to keep my shoulders warm. 

I looked back.

All I could hear was the wind blowing.

This time it pushed my hair

back from my face

making my vision clear.

Nope, I could see no one. 

Forgetting everything,

I moved on. 

But the sound of the footsteps

followed my everywhere.

Scared, I rushed home.

And buried myself under the pillow.

That night I had a dream.

I heard those footsteps again.

I heard a voice too.

Warm, gentle and full of love 

It made me feel like a child.

I felt somebody's hand

resting on my forehead

And the voice said to me, 

"I was the one who was following you.

And I always will

Because I am the God

And you are my child."

Today, was indeed my day.
