''Wish Prints'' in the Sand

"Wish Prints" in the Sand

Since childhood, I have longed

to walk on a Hawaiian Beach,

and feel the warmth of the Bluest water

and the Golden Sunlight through

Soft White Clouds.

This year, through the love and generosity

of my niece, that long awaited walk

was finally accomplished~~~~~

and as we walked and talked together~~~~

I told her about "Wish Prints"~~~~

I stumbled some, I'm sure, as I need

time to gather my thoughts about me.

But she was patient, and I believe she understood~~~~

But in case she didn't,

Perhaps this poem can explain~~~~~

"Wish Prints" in the Sand

Each STEP we take, each MOVE we make

Effects another in some way~~~

We can't always SEE the things that we

Are trying to convey~~~~

From the very start, you held my heart

Your eyes spoke truth to me

Your specialness was not lost~~~~

It was there for the world to see.

I've watched you grow, seen your talents bestow

Happiness to those whom you love.

Making "Wish Prints" with you

Made my dreams come true~~~~

So we shared them with those that we love.

Each "Print" that we leave

Is a "Wish"~~~~we believe

For the person you are thinking of.

Now they are THERE with you

Making "Wish Prints" too,

Washed in the glow of your love.

The Sea moves so fast, and these "Wish Prints" won't last

Very long~~~so share with ALL that you know.

So even walking alone on the beach we have known

Wishing~~~~

Really brings things to pass.

So YOU were there with me,

No matter where you might be,

For my thoughts brought you into my mind.

And every step that I take

IS a Prayer for your sake,

For you have been so exceedingly kind.

"Wish Prints" brought friends to me

From far and near, don't you see.

My family~~~ my Angels~~~ my Best Friends.

I'm not walking alone,

Hand in Hand we have been shown

The Master Artist's Reverie~~~~.
