Analysis of More Footprints
When you could not walk by yourself,
And cared to hang your life upon the shelf,
Did you not awake the next morning?
When poverty was all you knew of wealth,
Did you not hold your head up high?
Did you not walk with stealth?
God gives us grace without a warning.
Life is precious, afterlife is eternal.
Learn to share complete space with love,
For love never grows boring.
