Poem - Tracks in the Snow

Since there's not really much for me to post about, lets go with something common, poetry. Wrote this ages ago but why not? Its not really poetic per-say but there's some insight.

Tracks in the Snow

When we're born
We are like a field
Newly covered in snow
Untainted, pure...

Like snow, we're easily stained
Like markings in the snow,
The stuff we've done will never really fade,
It will stay marked somewhere deep within

With each wrong step
Another mark will appear
Tainting our once pure snow
With regret comes wishing for snowfall
Snowfall that will never come

In one's lifetime
You'll only get one snowfall
A reflection of one's soul
Once marked, cannot be removed
We may muddle it but we cannot erase what has been done

A field of snow...
Forever,
Covered, with footsteps...
