Wonderful poem that links footprints to bits and pieces of our memories over the years.
As we get older, we do leave a mark behind - footprints if you will - and even as they fade away, they'll always linger and be a reminder of what we once were.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece with us, and keep on writing!

Oh Anzhelina, you get closest to the truth when speaking of a diary
for you read like a record of events on separate days, none connected
by anything even resembling causation, a jumble of momentary experiences.
Yet it’s true that each line has interest, if only to spark curiosity.
