A smile so bright
a tear so deep,
New dreams on the horizon
old dreams buried deep,
Trust is earned
yet thin lined from the past,
Gingerly new steps into
a future unknown,
Searching for the dim
star that lightly flickers in
the sky,
Step by step
inch by inch,
I unfold the
secret hurt held
within me,
Letting go of the
footprints that were
left behind by you.
