Sound of Footsteps

it was the grace of your step

and the glance of your eyes

that so took me aback

in that far land of ice.

it was the gold of your hair

and the song of your laughter

that so made me care

for the love of my father.

it was your voice's melody

and the way you laid down

that so brought me anxiety

for all things around.

the remambrance of you tonight

put my mind aside,

the thought of you every-night

brought your soul close to mine.
