In stillness, and splendors of the oceans glint,
I casually walked down memory lane,
Leaving behind, lovely memories with each passing footprint.

Calming sapphire waters, creased upon the shore,
Bringing mild sudsy currents,
Crashing onto the smooth silky sands, like never before.

As sparkling seashells decorated the seaside,
Tumbling gently,
Upon the tiny creamy sprinkles of grain, as I glanced along the side.

Like the time you talked to me,
Made a friend when I had none.
Made me smile.

Like the time you said hello,
Complemented when I was down.
Made me laugh.

Like the time you asked how I was,
Cared when I was alone.
Made me cry.

Like the time you gave me time,
Listened well when I told all.
Made me trust.

Like the time you held my heart,
Gave comfort when I had none.
Made me hope.

Like the time you cracked a joke,
Laughing hard when I felt gone.
Made me live.

Like the time you ran with me,
Running fast when I cried stop.
Made me go.

Like the time you looked at me,
Mistakes made when I needed help.
Made me heal.

Like the time you asked me,
Invited when I felt lost.
Made me found.

Because you were there,
Because you were willing,
Because you cared,
Because you left a footprint,
*Because I am changed.
