One night I dreamed a dream…
I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
And across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.
One belonged to me,
And the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before us,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path in my life,
There was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the,
Very lowest and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me,
And I questioned the Lord about it.
Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
You would walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during,
The most troublesome times in my life,
There is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why in times,
When I needed you the most,
You should leave me.
He whispered…
My precious, precious child.
I love you.
And I would never, never leave you,
During your times of trial and suffering.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.
The authorship and origin of this
magnificent poem is still unknown.
