As I sit in your chair besides the lake,
I am reminded of my memories of long ago.

Me walking besides you,
Trying to keep up.

You reading me stories as I fell asleep.
But your sleep is permanent.

I wish every day for you to wake up,
But you never do.

Now you are gone,
Your footprints left behind.

You are in a better place now,
Walking alongside of Jesus .

Making new footprints,
Footprints in heaven.
