A SOLDIER'S FOOTPRINT by Pearl Pennington Blevins © 2005 When I came home from shopping in town A very faint footprint I saw on the ground It was very familiar for not so long ago You see, it belongs to the one I love so. When the call came not many days past, We had finished our new home at last Together we planted the flowers and trees To see them bloom in the Springtime breeze. The messenger's words cut like a knife A bomb in Iraq took your husband's life I looked at the footprint, my eyes filled with tears I saw the one I've loved through the years. In the footprint some comfort I 've found It was not left behind in some Iraqi town, And will always have a place in my heart No matter how many years we are apart. Someday we will be together again In a beautiful land where there is no sin. He gave his life so that all may be free What more could he give for you and me? |
