I heard your footsteps echo down the hall
A rhythm through the night’s expanding wall
It felt like something ancient came to call
To shake the dust from dreams too scared to fall
You stepped inside the room with quiet grace
And breathed a kindness into empty space
My fears retreated from your steady pace
As though your presence sanctified the place
Your laughter spread like sunrise in the cold
A warmth I’d never dared before to hold
It turned my stories vibrant bold untold
And melted all the iron in my soul
So walk with me when nights grow torn apart
And guide me where the light and shadows start
For every time you move toward where I am
Your footsteps find the door into my heart
