Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed
I was walking
along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed
footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were
two sets of footprints,
other times there were
one set of footprints.
This bothered me
because I noticed that
during the low periods of
my life, when I was
suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only
one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk
with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods
of my life there have
only been one set of
footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been
there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints,
is when I carried you."
