Your Footsteps in My Heart

If it were possible

If my wish could come true

I’d wish for footsteps in my heart

The footsteps of you

 

For you to see yourself

On the walls of my heart

To feel the warmth

My love for you from the start

 

You’d see yourself

A star on center stage

The storybook of my life

My Queen on every page

 

You’d stroll amongst my memories

Remembering yourself being there

Unaware I was nearby

Your secret admirer who lovingly cared

 

The first day of school

September 6, 1967

The day I fell in love with you

The promise I made to Heaven

 

The day we played golf together

Our fathers and my sister too

I heard you call my name

How silently I said “Sharon, I love you”

 

How amazed you’d be

To finally feel all my love

As you read the pages of my heart

Realizing that you’re the subject there of

 

And there upon your face

The face I so adore

Slowly grows a smile

The smile in my heart forevermore
