Ruth warren - Unwrapping

A smile so bright
a tear so deep,

New dreams on the horizon
old dreams buried deep,

Trust is earned
yet thin lined from the past,

Gingerly new steps into
a future unknown,

Searching for the dim
star that lightly flickers in
the sky,

Step by step
inch by inch,

I unfold the
secret hurt held
within me,

Letting go of the
footprints that were
left behind by you.
