Comment from zanya
Its a beautiful reflective minute poem reminding us of the inevitable passage of time in our human lives loves we often rush through without thinking. Until suddenly.....we look/behind.........only to realise .....our footprints gone....a contemplative tone

I think that if we leave an impact on someone our footprints will go on. However, if you're walking in the snow it will disappear. lol. The good things you do leave little footprints on people's hearts though and those are the important ones.

Thank you for the fantastic review and virtual sixer, Irish. Yeah, I wasn't thinking straight when I posted this. I should have waited until Sunday when everyone had some fresh sixers to give away, lol. I really appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a great weekend.

Comment from June Sargent
A beautiful example of a minute poem. Touching and thought-provoking. Footprints on snow do not last. But imprints on hearts do. So make as many good impressions as we can in the short time we have. Well done.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written minute poem. You're telling a mini story in this minute poem. The fresh footprints will soon fade. Our time is short and passing very quickly. By the time we try to look.back there is nothing left.

Comment from Pantygynt
Only a very few get to leave indelible "footprints" in the snow of history. I suppose that is just as well or there would be far too much for our kids to learn.
I like the minute form and this has done it proud. An appropriate form for something so evanescent.

Lol, yes, they would learn a lot, apposed to just having to Google it now. Ha ha. Thank you for the excellent review, Pantygynt. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you liked the piece.
Comment from Dawn Munro
What a truly splendid minute poem (one of my favorite forms)! I love every stanza, but that second one is beautifully written truth; if only we could recognize it (and 'seize the day').
Then again, that last stanza is so hard-hitting... The first one - aw, sheesh - see what you've done? I love them all. That first stanza so sweetly sets up the contrast...
If I had a six, that would be the rating I would assign this beautiful minute poem.
