Footprints

I lie here in my bed awake
Rememb'ring all of my mistakes;
The more I think, the more I break,
I cry to God, yet continue to ache.

After several weeks had passed,
A new friend set my heart in a cast;
As our friendship flourished, the scars healed fast,
And the painful wounds disappeared at last.

I wish you weren't so far away,
I think of and miss you everyday;
Yet dream I do, and wish I may,
It cannot bring you here today.

But that's alright, I understand -
I know that this is all God's plan;
Today is but a tiny strand
Of footprints in our friendship's sand.
