A winters day
The cold wind blows
Through the whiteness
As it snows

I walk along a path
and keep my head down
as I notice the footprints
I can't help but frown

Prints of different people
Everywhere in different places
Living separate lives
--10 different faces

I wonder who they are
and what it is they see
did they live nearby
were they anything like me?

I wish to be them
if only just one
I had pressed too hard
yet left so much undone

To have another chance
-get on the right track
so many mistakes I've made
But there's no turning back

It's now snowing harder
I guess I must go
unlike the others I leave
no footprints in the snow
