Today I’m leaving behind
My footsteps in the snow
And lots of memories of life
That I’m making in high and low
Periods of my life and living
Venturing with some hope
Into the uncharted territory
Of opened doors of rope
For the rope of life is hanging
Very high in the turning zone
Where I’m standing and watching
Life flowing with the misty moan
And there I’m trying to reconnect
With the rhythm of my life
Where I’m bound to live
And joyfully here survive
And in these times of challenge
I search for strength and hope
That can take me to the door of fain
Where no one can enter with mope
So I can allow myself to smile
And give new birth to faith
Where my soul can sing and dance
And take me to the gate
The gate of infinite possibilities
Where miracles happen every day
And brighten the world of darkness
In magnificent and joyful ways
So I can leave behind
My footsteps in the snow
And lots of memories of life
That I’m making in life’s flow.
