Poem by Naomi Lewis

[Celtigra3]

She wrote a poem with the line - my footsteps in the air - does anyone know what its title is and a relevant website?

Maybe try an email to Puffin publishers or to the New Statesman mag?

[Celtigra3]

Her poem was included in an Anthology of Nature Verse which she edited in 1983. It's first few lines are :-

Don't grieve, Don't grieve I shall be there,

Look for my footprint on the air

Sorry but I don't know of a relevant website that would help you.

That would be wonderful it is for a friend who is very ill and is making a book for her daughter for when she is gone. My email address is [email protected] - thank you julesk

Hi - is this the poem?
Stay!' said the child. The bird
said, `No,
My wing has mended, I must go.
I shall come back to see you though,
One night, one day -'
`How shall I know?'
`Look for my footprint in the snow.'

`The snow soon goes - oh, that's not
fair!'
`Don't grieve. Don't grieve. I shall
be there
In the bright season of the year,
One night, one day -'
`But tell me, where?'
`Look for my footprint on the air. '

[Celtigra3]

Wonderful - thank you so much.
