Footprints around our heart

Footprints around our heart

With tiny little footprints
Of steps not yet taken
By a child not yet born
Love was cast in me

You came into our life
Silently and had to be discovered
First game of hide and go seek
We found you

We danced and giggled
Planed and debated the nest
We would build for you
Within our humble home

You reached out and touched us
Or maybe kicked is a better word
The interaction had begun and
Our hearts were soon invested

We anxiously looked for foot steps
And quietly listened for sounds
It was hard to hear, you were very tiny
Or your womb had good soundproofing

Then came the day you left us
Silently once again, never say a word
We were left with our dreams dashed
And footprints around our heart
