tiny footprint

looking back in time
can be bittersweet

and looking ahead can
help make ends meet

knowing where you've been
and where you want to go

helps keep everything in perspective,
helps to keep an even flow

kids big and small can do the same
and often find such delight

in seeing how much they have grown
in brains, body and might

my son happened upon a tiny footprint
of his from so long ago

he had to compare where he was to see how much
room there had been to grow
