Have you ever looked at the different designs on tires? I kinda wish that they were like snowflakes...each car having a different pattern that would make it unique. After the mud dries on the paths, you can see everywhere someone has been and look at the zig-zagged marks left behind in the dirt. It's cool to think that we can virtually go anywhere we want, and not just on Earth.
One of my favorite places in the world is the beach. It's so beautiful. The waves crashing on the sandy shores and the sound of seagulls flying overhead is music to my ears. I walk along the water's edge and pick up seashells to collect. When I turn around to come back down the beach, I watch as my footprints get washed away by the ocean lapping up onto shore. The indentation will sometimes stay for a little while longer, but the initial footprint has disappeared, like I was never there. I wonder how many people walk along the edge of the water and watch as their footprints are washed away too.

Footprints on the moon are forever. There are no oceans, rain-storms, or gusts of wind to take them, or the tire-tracks away from the dust that covers the planet. It's like everything is preserved for someone else to look at and to learn from whenever the moon is visited next.
Maybe not all footprints are able to be seen with your eyes though. There are the footprints, hand prints, and tire-tracks that people leave on your life. There are those that help you to learn and to steer you down the right path; although, some people come into your life for you to help them. Maybe their tires need a new design and a new road to travel down or they're getting washed away by the waves of everyday life.
