The Footprints Of Giants

We’re always seeking someone to emulate,
to attain what we consider success;
someone with a stature to which we relate;
a life that we know God would bless.

Usually, it’s someone “larger that life”;
true heroes, living within our mind;
dreaming dreams, as we turn out the light;
for, giants are so hard to find.

Many admonish we walk in his footprints;
but, our feet are not the same size;
we’d be well advised to follow his precepts;
rather than to adhere to other’s lies.

Often, they’d lived, in a long ago past;
their footprints, had been erased;
others, whose legacies weren’t to last;
had long since been disgraced.

Tho each soul is equal; no two are the same;
like fingerprints each are unique;
those giants had great faith as their claim;
and, they never accepted defeat.

There were more than a few we idolized;
to God’s will, they’d lived in reliance;
living by faith, they were uncompromised;
leaving behind, the footprints of giants.

There’s one, whose footsteps all seek;
the Son sent down to earth from above.
We’d cherish time at the Master’s feet;
to learn from God’s Wisdom and Love.
