FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND
(Never lose heart, never give up, never give in)

Footprints on the sand,
As we walk along life's troubled waters, hand in hand.
Each sandy impression on the shore,
Helps to form the character and blueprint that make up our lives.
From the lowest lows to the highest highs,
Bright and sunny days, dark and cloudy skies,
So they say, in each life some rain must fall.
Through trials and tribulations
We both managed to stand proud and tall.
For, in each of our lives, some rain must fall.
