someone had stood before me
webbed footprints in sand

Someone Before Me
Melinda J. Irvine is an Australian writer, poet, and blogger living between the Philippines and Australia. Mel is adopted mum to Jerry, a Filipino boy she met in 2015 while volunteering after Typhoon Yolanda. All the money she earns as a freelance writer and author get her one step closer to legally adopting Jerry — plus helping the other kids from his village go to school.
i like the nostalgic feel of that poem 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. I happened upon these footprints in the sand on a lonely beach I visited a lot as a kid. Mel xx.
This popped up on the discovery tab.
This was a cute little poem. Cheers! I am now following you in the reader.
Thanks for stopping by my blog Simon I just visited your blog and was reading your post about daily writing prompts.
There are still a lot of active outlets for writing and engaging with other bloggers, I definitely recommend the Blogging University courses.

This really touched me 🙂 I have been on sands like this.
Thank you Gina, I feel so happy that you found a familiar space in my little poem. The sands in the poem are close to the place where I grew up as a child, these days I only get there (maybe) once a year.
Peace and Love Gina.
