Bout Them Footprints

Lets see if I make a change
in the way you see a print
a stranger shouldn't stay
lest we know from where sent

but if given proper time
a new face may glow the dark
you learn to scan the footprints
perhaps even make a spark

when the stranger is known
should not they be called a friend
and share anthologies in pages
like a journal to make them blend

then, there's no will to go
but stands firm in the mind
the footprints then become
of the most loving kind.

In response to the poem
"The Passing of A Stranger-
Footprints in The Mind"
by Mercy Grace
